When a new tool is integrated into the galaxy of existing solutions, it is important to question its positioning. It is interesting to map the tools made available (mind-mapping tools can help) and their scope of use from the user's point of view. This understanding of the solutions galaxy will facilitate the introduction and understanding of the positioning of the new tool so that it is as close as possible to the daily concerns of users. Once this positioning is clear, it will be necessary to look at the definition of what you really want to achieve with Elium.

The definition of the vision makes it possible to give meaning to a transformation project. This is an essential step to enable teams to understand the purpose and take ownership of the transformation. A good vision

In order to define a vision, you should be able to answer these few questions (if not, a brainstorming session that brings together the different stakeholders can be useful): What do you want to improve / solve? What needs to change in the current ways of doing things? What are the problems you are currently experiencing? What would be the ideal situation in the future? Where do you dream of going?

Try not to cling to concepts or ideas limited to tools and adopt as much as possible a posture of what would be desirable for your organization. \Some examples of vision:

The short and inspiring vision statement can be broken down into various objectives. The objectives make the vision even more concrete and give clear guidelines on how we will, together, implement this vision.

In order to make them a valuable indicator of progress and success, be sure to define SMART objectives (an acronym based on Peter F. Drucker's concept of management by objectives), i.e. objectives: S = Specific, they are clear and lead to the desired vision M = Measurable, they are expressed quantitatively A = Acceptable, ambitious but reasonable R = Realistic, they are possible to implement T = Temporal, they can be measured over a given period of time This small mnemonic means allows you to validate or not your objectives. For example, "capitalizing on our good practices" is not a SMART objective because it is not quantified, it is generic and has no time constraints. On the other hand, "capitalizing on at least 20 validated good practices in the platform by December 31, 2016", is a specific, measurable, acceptable, realistic objective with a specific target date. The key indicator that will measure the achievement of the objective is clear, this is the number of good practices posted on the platform. Some examples of concrete objectives:

To monitor the progress of a project effectively and appropriately, it is important to define in advance the few key performance indicators that will be measured throughout the project. These indicators must be simple and easy to interpret for each

To monitor progress against the defined objectives, it is important to define the few key performance indicators that will be measured throughout the project. These indicators must be simple and easy to interpret for everyone. The term KPI's or key performance indicator contains three words that are each of interest:

It is quite easy to list a series of key performance indicators, but the most difficult task is to choose those that will really be relevant in the context of the project and that will validate that you are achieving your objectives, as defined above. The best technique to define your KPI's is to take the list of objectives of the initiative and associate one or two KPI's next to each objective in order to measure whether or not the objective has been achieved.

Some examples of KPI's:

These are just a few examples, it is up to you to determine the KPI's that best fit your objectives and especially your professional context!

Now you know what you want to achieve, by what means and how to measure it. This can be found in a small support shared with your management or in the Elium platform to be transparent with users.
