Program Management Director A core principle of Change Management strategy is stakeholder engagement. Stakeholders are intended to provide functional and domain specific expertise to de-risk the execution of Change. To operationalize this principle, the Change Delivery function employs a layered approach based on the scale and scope of a change, all intended to drive successful enterprise coordination, delivery and execution. 1. Change Events Managed by the Change Delivery Managers (and the Change Management Leads). Responsible for all Business and Process Changes owned within one Business Council (LOB). Can coordinate cross-functional impacts/dependencies with other Business Councils if less complex in nature. Examples include: New Procedure, Customer Login Button, etc. 2. Projects Managed by the Program Management Director (and the Project Managers). Responsible for complex change that is driven by an owning Business Council (LOB) with material impacts across other Business Councils. Project managers seek approvals for design and delivery of the change and sequence the work performed across various Change Delivery Managers/Business Councils. Example: Rolling out a new regulation. 3. Programs Managed by the Program Management Director (and the Program Managers). Responsible for the biggest and most complex technical or business initiatives across multiple Business Councils (LOBs). These do not align to any one Business Council and have a customized group of stakeholders. Many projects will make up the Program. Program Managers orchestrate to ensure the design and delivery of the change is completed and sequence the work performed across various Project Managers and Change Delivery Managers/Business Councils.
