Planning a Group Consolidation Implementation – The Definitive Top 15 Considerations

Consolidation Implementation – The definitive Checklist

For any Implementation planning is key, for any project planning is key. It is important to ensure that planning is thorough and at a detailed enough level that any specification is complete and unambiguous.

It is equally as important to be prepared for your planning workshops; to plan for your plan so to speak. To that end CFMS have compiled a definitive list of considerations that should be covered in the workshops to ensure that any specifications and plans produced are complete.
