Often referred to Adoption and Change Management (ACM), the intent is to ensure program success through planning, strategy and execution of communications and adoption best practices. The ACM Plan will include recommendations from the ACM Assessment for the in-scope focus areas. The ACM Plan includes the following:
DT Services has a 3-phased Advise, Plan, and Execute approach to delivering on all ACM projects.  They are outlined as:
Advise Phase

• Understand current state for the in-scope Digital IT Marketplace services workloads.
• Define ACM success criteria.
• Conduct preliminary interviews of key stakeholders to discuss the current environment and user experience.
• Understand level of influence/control for driving success.
• Identify change advocates, subject matter experts or other influencers for program support.
• Identify individuals and user segments impacted by the technology program.
• Identify challenges, risks, expected behaviors and pain points.
• Develop change impact analysis to determine findings and recommendations on how to provide value-add to the users (if applicable).
• Identify communication and training needs by stakeholder groups.
• Understand internal communication processes, policies and procedures including standards, branding, review & approval processes, and distribution methods.
• Identify communication vehicles available and preferred methods of messaging. Identify requirements around communications and training to promote adoption.

• During this process DT ACM will create customized email templates for end-user communications (T-/+). This may include email templates for announcements, launch countdowns, and FAQs for the in-scope workloads.
• Create communications in support of IT Portal, DEX Management for Persona management application, and other key outcomes as identified and agreed upon.
• The Training & Coaching Section of the ACM Plan includes the identification of training of specific skills and behaviors that are necessary for the change to be a success.

• It describes how Customer will support managers and supervisors during the change, and how those managers and supervisors will interact with workers.
• The Change Network Section of the ACM Plan guides what is needed broadly from a network of change agents, who all work together to drive the change forward.
  The Resistance Planning Section of the ACM Plan outlines the processes and tools used by managers and executives, with the support of the ACM team, to manage employee resistance to the change.

• 
  During this phase DT ACM will confirm with tech teams that transition was successful. Coordinate a lessons learned session at the end of each pilot or deployment (if needed or applicable). Utilize the feedback and thoughts shared to improve further deployments / change. Re-iterate learning & support opportunities. Revise the Communications & Training Plan
