Description of the Requirement:
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is Canada’s national police service and an agency of the Ministry of Public Safety Canada. As such, the RCMP is mandated to enforce laws, prevent crime, maintain peace, order and security. The RCMP’s Digital Program is responsible for the development of Information Technology (IT) related business solutions. The Digital Program is also the policy centre for information management and responsible for managing the information required to carry out the RCMP mandate. The Digital Program has broad and significant support responsibilities that enable RCMP operations and contributes to the achievement of the organization's strategic priorities. One of the key priorities of the Digital Program is the Digital Policing Strategy. The world around us is changing - rapid advances in technology have led to significant changes in criminal behaviour and new crime types. These changes require a new, modern approach to policing. This is why the Digital Policing Strategy was created: to help guiding the RCMP's future as a modern, agile organization.
Three current major Digital Program business transformation projects are: the National Cybercrime
Solution (NCS) to support the RCMP National Cybercrime Coordination Unit (NC3); the Canadian Criminal Intelligence System (CCIS); and the Exchange Online Migration Project (EXO). These are all modernization initiatives that ensure Canadian police services, federal agencies and international law enforcement agencies can meet their mandates for public security, national security, and reduce the threat, victimization, and impact of cybercrime on Canadians.
The objective of this requirement is to have Organizational Change Management Consultants support these enterprise IT projects (NCS, CCIS, EXO) and ensure that technological initiatives align seamlessly with organizational goals.
The Organizational Change Managers will perform tasks, such as: developing a change management and communications strategy; analyzing, developing and documenting the project’s current, transition and target states from both a technology and business perspective; leading other functional staff to define business strategy and processes in support of transformation and change management activities; participating in change impact analysis; coordinating development of training and coordination with stakeholders; creating presentations and producing status reports.
