IM Mentoring

Following on from an IM review carried out by Venture our client requested that we instigate a project to coach and mentor their IM support team in order to assist with the development of both a DM and IM strategy and implementation roadmap.

Background

Over the last few years our client had undergone a major change in the structure and personnel within their IM support team.  In order to assist the team members with the accompanying change management process a series of workshops were developed to assist them in developing a roadmap of projects that would allow them to work to their fully potential.

The workshops included:

• Identification of the team goals, the reality and the available options
• Initial development of an IM Roadmap
• Initial development of a DM Roadmap
• Bringing together the IM and DM roadmaps
• 1-2-1 sessions with individuals as required

Outcome

The project achieved its objectives and provided:

• A roadmap of tactical and strategic initiatives that would improve IM and DM services
• A record of all workshops and meetings
• A support team that had a clear idea of the future state of the department and how they would get there
• Recommendation of a preferred way forward embodied in a programme of projects
• Enhance the client's decision making and asset management effectiveness by being able to harness information about its assets more readily
• Improve the value obtained from investment in IT systems
