This mail is sent to inform you that I have prepared the implementation plan. The plan is prepared to take the initiative for sustainable development. The sustainable policy is developed to minimize the use of paper and reduce waste, using sustainable furniture and appliances. The purpose of the policy is the make sure the workplace members become more sustainable and they learn how to use the document management software. Some of the possible barriers that have been identified to implementation are- · Due to improper planning resources were not allocated properly. · Some of the employees are not like the change and they are facing difficulty in using the new policy. · Employees are unaware of the importance of sustainable policy. · Project team members face difficulty in adopting the sustainability policy and procedures because they are familiar with the old procedures of the business. · Project team members face difficulties in operating the new technology that the project sponsors provide to them to decrease the usage of paper. · Project managers face difficulty in selecting the supplier for changing the appliances and furniture of the workplace.
Some of the recommended actions which will be taken to mitigate the risk are- · The project manager must hold a motivational meeting with the project team member to inspire them to adopt the new sustainability policy and practices to complete their work. · The project manager must help the education program to provide training to the project team related to operating the new technology. · The project manager was assigned duty to the marketing team related to doing market research to identify the best supplier that deals in sustainable furniture and appliances. · Some of the resources which are required to implement the sustainable policy are- · Documents for the sustainable policy · Trainer · Monitoring system · Implementation plans · Appliances and furniture I have attached the resource plan with this mail. Please have a review. With kind regards
