Case Study 1: Transforming the Organization Due Week 5 and worth 175
points Congratulations! The executives are taking your information
system proposal seriously. In fact, they think it has the potential to
transform the way the organization works. The CIO asked you to read
Connelly (2016) to think about what resources you’ll need to get your
new information system up and running. Please also review the five case
studies in (Basu 2015, p. 32-35) so you can recommend a change
management pattern for your company to follow. Write a memo to the CIO
that describes how to implement your information system into the
organization. Please focus on these topics: 1. How much of the
implementation work can you handle? What additional resources (people,
information, time, money, etc.) will expedite the process so you don’t
end up like Susie Jeffer? 2. Outline a change management strategy: What
new equipment and software are necessary? What training and support will
the staff need? How will the staff complete their work during the
transition period? Do you anticipate other areas of resistance? 3. The
CIO is very skeptical, so provide evidence that your assessment is
accurate and complete. It can be difficult to admit to personal
limitations! Your memo should be 3–5 pages long
