Our Expertise in action
THE CLIENT
Working with a major Ministerial Department supported by a large number of agencies and public bodies. This leading government department plays a fundamental role in the security and economic prosperity of the UK. With over 40,000 members of staff, the Department delivers operational services, policy and is supported by a wide range of professions.
The challenge
FSP signed up to a challenging timeline – to deliver a legislation and policy-compliant set of M365 workspaces to 90% of the organisation within 12 months. This initiative underpinned a key element in addressing recommendations of the Windrush Lessons Learned Review ensuring that in the future there is a clear audit trail of policy deliberations and decisions.
This Ministerial Department is a naturally complex environment for change activity comprising multiple organisations and a diverse portfolio of activity. The complexity was amplified by an organisational blueprint change as the first phase of a Transformation Programme, high operational demand, and ongoing remote working for the whole of the project team and the majority of staff in the Department.
The approach
Previous rollouts of technology had not concentrated highly on change and adoption activity, and a key lesson was highlighted that focus was required on both the “why” and the “how” of the messaging.
To build common understanding and joint purpose, project kick off activities focused on a series of joint technical/change workshops. This supported our ability to work as partners with the in-house team and their external training provider.
A repeatable method for rollout across the organisation was developed which encompassed initial discovery activity, followed by more detailed engagement and pre and post adoption support.
The outcome
In parallel with the rollout activity, we aligned to the internal Transformation programme to gain best effect and delivered:
- Stakeholder engagement
- Comprehensive and ongoing communications campaigns
- Training and guidance materials for owners of SharePoint Sites and MS Teams workspaces
- A new online learning site for all guidance material
- Training for owners of SharePoint and MS Teams
- A communications site for all information relating to the project
- A community of digital champions
