Strategic Project Implementation

You are a new project manager who has been asked to deploy a new operating system to 17,000 employees with the help of one other employee. This software, the first enterprise-wide project, will then run industry-specific applications. You have general procedures, but where do you begin? Choose from the following options your course of action. Correlate this to current events that are happening with companies in other countries.

1. Ask each employee to watch a webinar and install the software on his, or her, own computer.
2. Find a support structure of internal and external mentors to help you organize and implement this rollout.
3. See if your organization will hire an outside consulting firm to do this project while you watch and learn.
4. Place the other employee as head of the project, so that when it fails no one will blame you.
