Change Management
As your group prepares to implement the repository, the formulation of a change management strategy is an important consideration. Change management is a structured plan to facilitate transition to a new way of doing something. When a new technology or any innovation is introduced, it often requires some marketing and support to diffuse it and to get people using it. You will want to identify and educate potential users about how to use the repository as well as the value of using it. A change management plan will ensure you approach these tasks in a systematic way. Internal planning, marketing, and training will all be valuable tools for achieving this goal.
