Kathleen Lepori EDC 668: Managing Technology for Change Instructor: Anderson


 * PROJECT PLAN AND TIMELINE**

As we look towards future growth and expansion, informal and formal communication between staff members will be a high priority in our organization. Developing a practice of ongoing communication will help cultivate trust and confidence and inspire employees to be actively involved in helping the organization to succeed and prosper. I believe the following changes have the potential to make a profound difference in the way we do business. A new job position of Intergroup Collaboration Coordinator will be created in order to fulfill much of the responsibilities needed to manage this important change.
