The desire for better collaboration between The Danish Emergency Management Agency and the rest of The Danish Defence meant the transference of roles, authorization and tasks between the agencies. emagine helped manage the project organization.
The challenge
The Danish Emergency Management Agency, which is a part of The Danish Defence, was tasked to collaborate with The Danish Defence's other agencies.
The collaboration meant that tasks within HR, equipment, economy, accounts, establishment, and IT infrastructure had to be transferred to the other supporting agencies within The Danish Defence.
This also entailed larger, cross-disciplinary work across agencies and fields. In that regard, emagine was tasked with managing the process, so the desired deadline for transition to the new IT platform was realized.
Solution
emagine's consultant enhanced and structured the project organization, making roles and authorisations clearer. The consultant also assisted by keeping an overview and navigating the complex organizational context across the agencies.
Old meeting fora were stripped away, and new cross-disciplinary meeting fora were implemented.
At the same time, internal, cross-disciplinary whiteboard meetings were introduced within The Danish Emergency Management Agency, based on SCRUM and the Lean Six Sigma methodology.
Finally, the consultant functioned as a sparring partner for central stakeholders in The Danish Defence's organization, including The Danish Emergency Management Agency's executive board.
This brought great managerial support across The Danish Defence's agencies, and with the new ways of organizing the project work came a common understanding of the project's critical deliverables and transparency in the management. As a result, the new IT platform was put into operation as planned and on time.
