Coping with Project Risk on Technology Implementation & Transformation Projects within a Large Organization – The Case for Superior Risk Management Discipline In September 2010, CHEMICS Insurance advised its staff that their all their offices would receive an overhaul of systems and processes. This was a technology overhaul program at its core. Yet there was an opportunity to streamline the business process to enable straight-through-processing and improve support levels. The new procedures and tools will promise to solve a variety of issues with have plagued the organization. The new tools would be simpler to use to conduct business, easier to train, and easier to support for the IT department. The project was scoped and estimated to be impacting 20,000 employees in the US division before it was deployed to the company’s international offices. Code named “The CHEMICS Method”, the project had a life time budget of $50M from start to completion and it was estimated that the program would take 3 full years to complete. The senior executive group envisioned some of the clear benefits of the project before signing off on the expenditure. A senior project management team was assembled comprising of internal CHEMICS resources and external consultants. The project would impact nearly every facet of the organizations, including HR, Pre-sales, and External Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, Claims, IT, Billing and other Back office. Every business process would be changed and streamlined as part of the project. Sophisticated, role-based workflow systems would be deployed to enter, collect, collate, and analyze business data. Real-time client information would be available and seamlessly integrated throughout the different departments. The promise was to reduce business costs and streamline the company’s operations which had not been done in any holistic manner for the past 150 years of the company’s existence. The project was kicked off in January of 2011 with each stakeholder signing off prior to launch. The company was committed and a risk management plan was put together along with other project planning deliverables including a program plan, process documentation, project information portals, and a document management system to help manage the project and the related documentation that was being developed. One year later, senior management started to sense that adequate progress was not being made. Project management reports were being circulated and all indicators were seemingly positive. However, material progress had not been made given the following observations by senior management: · There were no new systems components being built and tested · Process documents were produced but not signed off by the concerned stakeholders of impacted departments · Low staff confidence levels were observed regarding The CHEMICS Method project given conversations being had “around the water cooler”. · $10M dollars of the program budget were being spent · Many issues and risks were being reported by various departments, yet not acknowledged · by the project management related deliverables · Significant process and technology rework was being performed without material · finalization · One third of the entire project timeline had already been expended to date. · Three consulting vendors were changed by the program management team over the course of the one year. · Without hesitation, senior management concluded that the program was in serious trouble. Without question, a course-correction was required. Questions Senior management has chosen to hire you as an expert project management consulted, not otherwise connected with the program thus far, to conduct an assessment. 1. How would you set about conducting such a review? 2. How would you structure your report, i.e. on what basis? 3. Clearly, your report concludes that there is a risk management issue for this program. How would you recommend addressing this issue? What could a comprehensive risk management plan look like and how would you include it in the overall program plan going forward? Specific issues you have been asked to include: 4. Would the assignment of a CHEMICS project manager have made a difference? 5. If so, in what way, and what specific skills would that manager have required? 6. What are the lessons learned?

This is the requirement from the lecture:

Students are expected to reflect on the key issues for each seminar and document their response in writing using ideas from the key theories and readings in the seminars. Students are to reflect on at least five (5) seminars ( 2 diary entries must be based on the Guest Lectures) resulting in 5 diary entries. What are the main ideas/theories discussed? Are there key issues/theories? Have your ideas changed or been reinforced in terms of issues covered in the seminars that relate to leadership? What have you learned more broadly? This diary is meant to reflect critical thinking and should be the student’s own work. However, all quotes or ideas taken from other sources must be referenced appropriately using a recognised academic referencing system such as the author/date or Harvard referencing systems. URKUND is enabled for all assessment items in this unit.The diary must be submitted via Moodle on time. Late penalties will apply and extensions will only be considered when the extension form is signed and submitted well before the due date with supporting documentation.
Word Count Rules: The word count is conducted by using the word count function in Microsoft Word by highlighting the first word of the first sentence to the last word of the last sentence. The word count includes all in-text references and quotes but does not include the title or the reference list. Plus or minus 10% leeway is given for the word count, for example the Reflective Diary (2,000words) must be within 1800 to 2,200 words. Markers will ignore those parts of the essay that exceed the word limit, and essays which are under the word limit will be considered as not representing a completed assessment task. Excessive use of quotes will be heavily penalised. Writing to a set word count is a requirement in almost every profession.

Please make sure you take note of the following before submitting your reflective diary:

1) Please read the instructions in the unit outline and the Academic Skills lecture before submitting your reflective diary.
2) Please do not focus on the entire seminar (do not attempt to summarise the entire seminar). The instructions clearly state to choose one or two concepts/theories from each seminar to focus on.
3) You must stick to the word limits.
4) You must reference if you use other people’s words. The reflective diary is not based on research however you must always acknowledge other people’s work appropriately.
5) Use subheadings in the reflective diary to indicate which seminar the concepts are from.
6) Do not simply focus on describing your experience or the concept/theory. Critical reflection/analysis means asking why are things the way they are? What does the theory say and what happens in real life? Do they match? If not, why not. If yes, which parts and how? Always use concepts and theories and language from the unit. This is not a personal diary, this is still an assessment item that should demonstrate your understanding of theories and concepts form the unit.
7) You can use the first person in the diary (I) but you cannot and should not use the royal ‘we’. You are the sole author of the work and this is not group work. You must still use formal language in the reflective diary. Please edit your work carefully before submission.
8) Please follow instructions as you will lose marks for not following instructions.

My expection:

1. You are going to write 5 topics about 5 seminars that I attended before. 3 of them were lecture seminars which included the slides and I will attach the slides along with this order.
2. There is no slides of the other 2 guest lecture topics. They are about �Power and Leadership� and �Leading Teams�. You are free to write anything about these 2 topics, Just make sure you have 2 references per each.
3. There are about 400 words and 2 references per each topics (the references can be from journal either articles or websites, No books please).
4. As the lecture said, Please do not focus on the entire seminar (do not attempt to summarise the entire seminar). The instructions clearly state to choose one or two concepts/theories from each seminar to focus on.
Thank you so much.
