Transition Manager

The Transition Manager presents 8 different options for job descriptions of a manager who’s being identified to lead an organization transition from a current to a future state. 

The role selected depends on your definition of what kind of transtion is appropriate for this change effort.

All roles work and are effective, but each is unique as well.

The 8 Roles are:

1. Project Manager Role (focal point for changes during the transition)
2. Training Role (defines and coordinates training required for the transition)
3. Leadership Role (catalyst for the changes…leads the way) 
4. Sponsorship Role (surrogate manager sponsoring the changes)
5. Transition Role (insures all elements of the transition are managed appropriately)
6. Change Management Role (creates and manages “breakthrough” projects for transition)
7. Facilitator Role (facilitates the changes required for transition)
8. Implementation Manager Role (leads the implementation of the future state)

Each of the above roles is somewhat unique and distinctive. Choice between them depends on the organization’s view of how best to accomplish the transition itself….each role will work depending on the situation.

The Transition Manager role (no matter which one above) disappears after the transition is complete and the management responsibilities are assumed by the new official manager.
