Change Management

Everything I do is about change. So change management is a natural progression. 2016 saw my first official project with change management in the title. I’m looking forward to adding more.

    Provided communications services to support a change management program involving an enterprise-wide (5,000 employees) software upgrade and roll-out.

  • Government of Saskatchewan

    Government of Saskatchewan

    As content strategist for the Government of Saskatchewan’s content migration from gov.sk.ca to saskatchewan.ca, I encounter change management issues regularly. The Government of Saskatchewan included requirements for change management in their request for services, since different ministries within the government have varying capacities to adapt to new guidelines and business processes that accompany a content migration.
