Phase I: Telework Assessment & Profile Process Phase II: MIA-(Mitigation Investment Analysis) Phase III: SAM-(Scenario Assessment Model) Phase IV: PRD-(Policy Review and Development) Phase V: TIP-(Telework Implementation Plan) Phase VI: MRP-(Monitor and Refinement Program

Just a Hint at the power of this Phase of the TDP POWERPOINT SLIDESHOW conversion by PPT2HTML When considering a strategy that will impact almost every aspect of your organization, it is important to be as thorough as possible. Although many of the elements are relatively simple and straight-forward, when you comprehensively examine the whole, it can be daunting. Acknowledging that your culture will adopt more of an Information Age model as a result of a Telework Strategy, SAM is concerned with optimizing your deployment to achieve a specific business objective by answering questions such as the following. The PRD of Phase IV leads your management team through a process that will address the more emotional implications of this evolution.   - What level of deployment is best given different occupational responsibilities?   - Which employees should be deployed first?     - What's the most effective way to implement the Space Conversion Program?       - What support configuration is required for each class of teleworker?         - Which financial factors should be used in the calculations?           - If we consider the soft dollar benefits of productivity, retention etc.,                    what weight should they be given?             - Where does the Business Continuity Process fit in?               - What is the security impact?

The Scenario Assessment and Modeling Phase provides two fundamentally critical capabilities to support your analysis of these and many other questions:

1. the ability to develop scenarios for analysis. There are five types of scenarios that can be combined in various ways at both the client and the business unit (group) level, and
2. A modeling screen that performs the voluminous calculations required to optimize your deployment plan.
The Modeling Screen allows you to:
• "Mix and Match" different component scenarios and to calculate the costs and savings that result.
• select the optimal Master Scenario for each group as a "Group Master"
• identify specific scenario combinations as an "Employer Master"
• generate comparisons of the various Master Scenarios
• "Mix and Match" different combinations of "Group Masters" to determine the optimal "Deployment Master" for the organization as a whole.

One of the many reports involved in this process is the Five-Year Impact Projections Report.
