Buckle up for a rollercoaster ride through the misadventures of Choctaw Nation’s journey in Change Management. From doubling in growth post-transition to Oracle Cloud to the realization that change management was an unfamiliar concept: we’ve navigated the complexities of organizational evolution. Amplifying our change management challenge is the vast decentralization of our organization: spanning most of the southeastern portion of Oklahoma. Join us as we candidly share our experiences: from initial stumbles to ongoing strides in adopting change management strategies. Our tribal government: which operates with and manages grants and tribal funding: has transitioned from legacy systems to Oracle HCM: ORC: ERP: and SCM. Through anecdotes and insights: we’ll explore the five perilous paths that we’ve stumbled down to essentially undermine our own change management strategies: Just Send Emails: Don’t Identify All Your Stakeholders: The Sponsors Know What Change Management is…Right??: and Skimp on Training. It’s a journey of lessons learned: continuous improvement: and the pursuit of effective change management practices.
