Change Portfolio Status — Keeping Every Project Flowing

Four projects in Portfolio P001 are in motion across three horizons. All four carry significant adoption risk, and each has a dedicated change management professional driving it. On the short-term horizon, EchoWave enters its go-live window in 27 days and AI Video Hiring is mid-execution toward a December cutover; GreenLight is between migration waves on the medium term; and OpenSpace is building its long-term leadership runway into 2027.

Items in draft

The build is done: design, testing, Sales and Finance training, and the ADKAR Awareness, Desire, and Knowledge phases all completed on schedule. UAT closed Jul 31 as planned. Every communication is now stakeholder-mapped: all-staff items reach the full 610-person impacted population, with the four regional Sales teams (375 reps) and Finance tracked separately. The pressure is entirely in the communications pipeline.

Watch: The 30-day countdown email went out Aug 1, one day late after approval slipped. The Sales quick reference guide is pending approval for Aug 10, and all three go-live-day deliverables — the CRO announcement, the hypercare guide, and the go-live milestone — remain in first draft.

Behind schedule

Launched on schedule Feb 4 with executive announcement and all-hands; monthly newsletters and Change Agent cadence have run without a miss through July. All 27 communications and 21 change impacts are now mapped to the project's 19 stakeholder groups (374 impacted stakeholders, 446 unique members overall) — Line Managers (97 people) alone are touched by 19 communications and 6 impacts, the project's saturation hotspot.

Watch: Job description standardization (Pat Wright) is behind schedule against its Aug 31 date — it gates the AI scoring configuration planned for the September testing cycle.

Wave 2 go-live

Wave 1 — Finance transactional processing — went live May 4 and closed hypercare Jun 5 with lessons feeding the Wave 2 playbook. Communications are stakeholder-mapped by wave: Finance Business Partners and GBS Centre Staff for Wave 1, Regional HR Leaders and People Managers for Wave 2, Procurement & Sourcing for Wave 3 — so each function sees only its migration window.

The global launch landed Jun 15 and Regional Change Leads were activated in a two-day workshop Jul 8. Every item is mapped to its audience — from the 38-person Early Adopter cohort up to the 251-person impacted leader population — so the September readiness pulse sets a per-group baseline the whole 18-month journey will be tracked against.

Portfolio view: August is the collision point — now measurable

With stakeholders mapped on every record, the saturation is no longer a narrative — it's countable. All four projects place demands on the organization in the next five weeks: EchoWave's go-live wave (Jul 31–Aug 31) hits its full 610-person impacted population, GreenLight's Finance role briefing (Aug 4) and Wave 2 HR announcement (Aug 17) land on Finance Business Partners and People Managers, OpenSpace asks people managers for behavior change (Aug 10), and AI Video Hiring runs its newsletter, Change Agent session, and open house (Aug 11–27) across 374 impacted stakeholders. Manager and Finance populations are touched by three or four projects in the same window — sequencing and message consolidation in August is Portfolio P001's single biggest change-saturation lever.
