You've got a major change within your organization and you are looking at how to get it done. The most common approach to a major change effort is to look within your own organization for the resources to do the work.
If looking internally for resources is your first response, it is possible that you are not taking the time to properly evaluate the following questions:
- Do my internal resources have the capacity to take on more work?
- What business as usual work will not get done if my resources are assigned to this change effort?
- Is business as usual going to take priority over the change effort?
- Do my internal resources have the needed competencies and skills?
- What are the risks associated with my internal resources (schedule slippage, operational risk, costs of missed opportunities, employee burn out and morale issues)?
And lastly, have you considered the fact that what looks easy generally never is?
We recently underwent a major company change and our internal resources led the change and did the majority of the work, and it cost us significantly more time and money.
