Older systems are hard to change
Important work may depend on software that is difficult to maintain, update or connect.

Who this is for
For organisations improving older systems and processes.
Growing organisationsTeams using older systemsMulti-branch businessesTeams planning major system changes
The challenge
Changing too much at once creates problems.
Problems grow when several systems and processes change at the same time. Important connections can be missed, and teams may not have enough time to prepare.
Too much change at once
Changing several systems and processes together makes problems harder to find and fix.
Teams need time to prepare
Training and support should be planned before a new system or process goes live.
Our approach
Move forward in manageable stages.
Start with what needs attention now, then plan larger changes in an order the business can manage.
Understand what you have today
Review the systems, processes and information people rely on, and identify what is causing the most difficulty.
Decide what should change first
Break the work into clear steps, with people responsible for each one.
Make the change and support users
Complete each step, prepare users and provide support as the new way of working settles in.
Expected outcomes
Each step should make something better.
Fix important problems first
Start with issues that affect everyday work while preparing for larger changes.
Systems that are easier to maintain
Make systems and connections easier to understand, update and support.
See what has improved
Check whether each change has reduced delays, made work easier or improved service.
