Best practices Best practices Governance and program control Risks and stability Formalize the project structure with a controlled governance process so that projects conform to an agreed sequence of phases, deliverables, reporting and process steps. Embed critical deliverables with dollars at risk to incent the incumbent Service Provider to complete the exits on time, etc. A clear accountability model, for one overall project manager and executive, must be established. Tower leads will have a seat at the table in the proposed program Steering Committee to review initial program plans, change control requests, and to assess impact on their teams. Attention and oversight needs to be focused on the financial models, ensuring costs are fully understood, budgeted, and tracked. It is easier to transition services as is, as opposed to transitioning a new or transformed solution. Risk assessment and mitigation plans need to be developed. Due diligence is important in all facets of the current environment to ensure stability and knowledge transfer. 2013 Information Services Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved 9
Best practices-cont. Best practices Service Provider relationship Client needs to work closely with incumbent Service Provider to ensure key personnel are not removed from the account and the quality of services does not deteriorate. Perform a gap analysis between the services being delivered by the current service provider and the new service provider or organization to ensure no services or responsibilities are omitted. If Service Provider resources can be hired as FTEs, the amount of risk is reduced (in-sourcing). 2013 Information Services Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved 10
