Transition to Workday

Project SPARK is committed to thoughtfully implementing Workday in a scalable and sustainable manner, including limiting unnecessary customizations and minimizing disruption. Our transition to Workday will be complex and will require engagement from the entire NJIT community.

We recognize that change management is the key to the acceptance and support needed for implementing sustained change. To that end, Project SPARK has established a Project SPARK Change Management Team which will help set and manage expectations, support cross-campus understanding by sharing information about what’s to come, and mitigate disruptions during implementation.

The Change Management Team will focus their efforts on communication, learning, and support by:

• Communicating the what and why for upcoming changes to create transparency and build connections between feedback and our forward path
• Creating key learning opportunities by curating a wide variety of mediums and materials to support the varied learning styles across our community
• Ensuring strong post-launch support by leveraging lessons learned from past implementations 
• Collecting feedback from the NJIT community throughout the implementation process
• Working with the Project Team to assess impact of process and policy changes to proactively address downstream impact
