In same way, implementation is all about information and assessment. Your class must be educated, indoctrinated, tested, and graded in ways of your management system in order to graduate to effectiveness. No one ever said it was easy, but with studying and hard work, your organization is sure to score straight A's.

Process Training and Assessment

The first assignment for Effectiveness 101 is a pop quiz to see exactly where focus of your improvement efforts will need to be. A preliminary assessment of your employees' skills and competencies will help determine training gaps your people need to close.

Once you have identified your training needs, then your lesson plan can begin in earnest. Your training program will introduce your employees to job descriptions, processes, and procedures that compose management system. Just as importantly, your employees must be trained on relationships between themselves and your objectives and effectiveness.

Once coursework has been taught, it's time to do some grading. A top-to-bottom audit should be conducted of your entire system against your objectives and compliance requirements. With this audit completed, you will be able to graduate from where you’ve been to where you want to be.

Processes and Procedures to Implement a Stable System

No one goes from kindergarten to college overnight. You are working toward a stable system, and it will take time - roughly 50% of project’s total time, in fact. While implementation usually takes a three- to six-month "semester" to complete, exact amount of time you’ll spend will depend on how many employees, locations and processes you have.

Chris Anderson is the managing director of Bizmanualz, Inc. and co-author of policies and procedures manuals, producing the layout, process design and implementation to increase performance.

Assure everyone that you will not reduce his or her income or benefits. Explain their expanded career paths and future rewards. Be firm. You must not adjust or reject your organizational strategy for someone's private interests. Your company has an identity and a life of its own.

Once you have signed CCs, you can prepare your introductory materials, which should include your new Org Chart and Reorganization Notice. Make your Announcement and Reorganization Presentation in person and in writing.

Emphasize that your firm's reorganization is scheduled for a certain Changeover Date. Make sure that you allow enough time between Announcement Date and Changeover Date so everyone can be adequately prepared.

(Do not allow piecemeal fulfillment and delays to produce confusion, conflicting accountabilities, and perception that you don't know what you're doing.)

Make sure your reorganization is complete on official Changeover Date.
