Change Management: A structured approach to transition individuals, teams, and organizations from a current state to a desired future state through risk evaluation, planning, communication and implementation An effective Change Management Plan is key to the success of any change, including the SDP An industry Change Management template was developed to assist the industry in managing this change, covering several key areas
Procedure / Program Impacts Develop Utility SDP interface procedure Identify / update impacted Utility procedures (Engineering and others); streamline where possible Evaluate existing NRC, CAP and INPO commitments for relevance Walk through with Document Control / Records Group Review / update existing contracts and design interface agreements Review / update impacted software programs
Training / Qualifications Identify / train site SMEs Complete Training Needs Analysis Develop and Conduct Engineer / Stakeholder training (using industry materials), including “gap” training (old vs. new process) Conversion to standard qualification Update of impacted Training documents (existing lesson plans, qualification cards, etc.)

Software Implementation Develop project plan for implementing new industry standard software Obtain funding and set up contract Determine impacts on procedures / programs Develop plan for software training Develop risk mitigation plan for software implementation Develop plan for communication of software changes
Effectiveness Review / Monitoring Develop assessment objectives to evaluate implementation effectiveness Perform a snapshot self assessment at site to evaluate implementation Periodic telecons with site/fleet management or other sites to discuss status and comments
