vii. Other documentation and efforts related to deployment strategy and replatform, as required.
1.2.1 Phase 1 - Discover & Strategize:
During this first phase, Contractor will use human-centered design tactics to listen to people and assess impacts to troopers, supervisors and support staff. Contractor will synthese prior user research and collect new research via interviews to define a change plan that improves the end-user experience of eApplications software, training, processes and procedures bringing together a stakeholder map, readiness assessment, change impact assessment, personas and journey maps.
This will lay the groundwork for the detailed change backlog in Phase 2.
a. Key Activities:
i. Conduct 1:1 Stakeholder Interviews: The Contractor will conduct 6 - 8 interviews in a 1:1 format with troopers, supervisors and support staff to capture the real-world needs of users. These sessions will uncover pain points, cognitive load, and workarounds that may affect system adoption. The
Contractor will also gather preferences around communication and training to inform the Change Plan. Insights from these interviews will help assess readiness for deployment, help Contractor define user groups and identify change risks.
ii. Synthesize Current State Insights: In addition to interviews, the Contractor will gather insights from multiple sources to inform the development of a Change Plan for eApplications. This includes reviewing prior user research, personas and journey maps developed in earlier projects supported by the Contractor, as well as engaging directly with vendors responsible for eApplications development and training. These insights will shape key deliverables completed during this Phase, such as personas, journey maps, training and communications plan. This will help the Change Plan reflect real user needs and align with the current state of development.
iii. Define change advocate approach: Create an approach for identifying change advocates that represent each user group impacted by the eApplications deployment. These individuals will play a key role in building trust, sharing insights and helping shape the change experience. During this phase, the Contractor will define change advocates role, expectations and recruitment process.
iv. Document current and target user experience: Synthesize and consolidate insights from workshops, stakeholder interviews and various research to help illustrate the current and target user experience. The target state encompasses the new enhancements that will be rolled out as part of this eApplications deployment.
v. Conduct organizational readiness assessment: Leveraging output from the stakeholder interviews and current State insights the Contractor will create an organizational change readiness assessment that evaluates potential risks, resource and deployment needs, change resistance, transition support and communication needs. The assessment will showcase organizational gaps in preparedness, helping inform the deployment strategy and design of change tactics.
b. Deliverables:
i. Change Management Plan: Outlines the vision, direction and purpose of the change and how the change will be deployed, communicated, and enabled.
The Change Plan brings together multiple Change Agility and human-centered design tools, including the Change Canvas, Stakeholder Map, Personas, Journey Maps, and Change Readiness Assessment.
a. Change Canvas: A visual representation that supports leadership alignment by outlining high-level elements of the change, including risks and mitigation strategies. The canvas contains the vision, key changes, desired outcomes, success metrics, potential enablers/ blockers, and support needed. For eApplications, the Contractor will include additional details about its change advocate strategy, including who change advocates are, why the Contractor will be using this tactic and how the Contractor will engage this audience throughout deployment.
b. Stakeholder Map: Illustrates which groups are impacted by the eApplications rewrite, along with an assessment of the agencies influence, commitment, and anticipated impact based on stakeholder and user insights
c. User Personas: Contractor will develop up to five (5) user personas that capture the lived experience, sentiment, and pain points of the State end users across key workflows. These personas will synthesize input from stakeholder and user interviews, emphasizing the degree of change experienced across roles, systems, and environments to inform the change plan. They will reflect variation in adoption needs, technical readiness, and communication preferences across troopers, support staff, and leadership.
d. Current State and Target State Journey Maps: Contractor will develop both a current state and target state journey map for two top-priority workflows within the eApplications system: eAICS and eDaily (4 total maps). These human-centered artifacts are essential to building a change management plan that is grounded in the real needs, expectations and experience of end users. While personas tell who is impacted and why it matters, journey maps show how users move through the workflow and where improvement and training is most needed. Together, they provide a foundation for understanding how users will be affected by the deployment and they highlight the learning needs.
These outputs will help shape targeted communication, training, and support strategies.
Current state journey maps will provide a baseline understanding of how troopers and support staff experience the system today. The current state maps identify workflow friction, inefficiencies and workarounds across user groups. They are critical to helping identify which user groups are most affected, assessing change readiness and supporting targeted communications and training. They also serve to establish a foundation for measuring progress and impact post-deployment.
e. Change Readiness Assessment: Contractor will conduct a comprehensive assessment of CJIC’s readiness to implement eApplications and sustain the change. Contractor will collaborate with program leadership to identify, prioritize and establish a method for measuring key dimensions for the assessment. Dimensions could include leadership alignment & commitment, compelling need for change, clarity of direction, magnitude of change impact, and receptiveness to change. The assessment will uncover potential risks, resource and deployment needs, areas of change resistance, and training and communication gaps.
f. Communications & Training Approach: Contractor will define an approach to Communications and Training including recommendations on delivery methods and formats (e.g. virtual training), tailored to user impact considerations.
Image: Critical success factors associated with Change Readiness
1.2.2 Phase 2 - Design:
Following Phase 1, Discover & Strategize, focused on gathering and consolidating stakeholder feedback & insights, the Contractor will begin an iterative design process to craft detailed change plans and tactics that meet user needs. Contractor’s agile and human-centered approach enables us to stay closely aligned with user experience and feedback throughout. As such, engaging change advocates during this Phase 2 is essential to building trust and tactics that resonate.
a. Key Activities:
i. Develop detailed communications plan: Based on the change plans and user insights collected in Phase 1, the Contractor will design a detailed communications plan to inform stakeholders of deployment and training. This plan will aim to generate awareness and desire for the eApplications rewrite deployment. Leveraging the Contractors iterative Change Agility methodology, the Contractor will develop the plan, share it with change advocates, listen to feedback, and adjust the plan accordingly. The plan sets the foundation for what should be shared, by when and to whom.
ii. Design and test communication materials: While designing the communications, the Contractor will also develop the actual communication collateral and materials that bring a creative approach to sharing information across both digital and physical media. Communications may include branding and iconography, slogans, emails, videos, posters, newsletters, and more. Communication tactics will be shaped and co-designed with change advocates, so they resonate with end users and meet their needs.
As part of the go-live deployment, the Contractor will design targeted communications that inform users of the go-live timeline, what to expect, how to prepare, what’s changing and most importantly what’s in it for them. These messages will be crafted to build awareness, reduce uncertainty and inspire engagement, enabling a smooth transition to the eApplications enhanced experience.
iii. Refine the training plan & develop metrics strategy: Using the Contractors change plan and stakeholder insights gathered during Phase 1, the Contractor will review the training plan developed by the vendor partner and provide recommendations for refinement. With the shift to mandatory video-based training, as well as optional in-person training classes, the Contractor will take this into account and provide recommendations so not only is training accessible, engaging and clearly communicated, but also support resources are aligned to help users successfully complete the required training.
To measure the efficacy of the training, the Contractor will develop a metrics strategy that considers both qualitative and quantitative indicators. This may include post-training assessments, user satisfaction surveys, training completion rates, help desk inquiries and behavioral indicators of adoption.
These metrics will provide actionable insights to continuously improve training effectiveness.
iv. Pilot training design with change advocates: As it is a core component of the
Contractors Change Agility methodology, the Contractor will partner closely with the software vendor and State agency staff to pilot and test the training materials prior to go-live. This collaborative activity will include feedback sessions and observations of training delivery so training is clear, relevant and usable.
Based on these insights, the Contractor will provide targeted recommendations for refinement, so training is not only accurate and complete, but also engaging and aligned to the learning needs of end-users.
This iterative and feedback-driven approach enables training to resonate, drive greater adoption and reduce help desk inquiries by proactively addressing and surfacing common questions and support needs.
Change advocates who were identified as part of Phase 1 will be engaged to pilot and test training materials.
v. Prepare agency staff for deployment: Following Phase 1, the Contractor will have a clear understanding of the needs of agency staff to prepare themselves for the deployment and support end users. This insight will directly inform the updating and refinement of documents and accompanying recommendations for training, working sessions and readiness activities.
A hypercare structure and plan will also be co-designed with agency staff to quickly address any immediate issues that arise.
i. Communication Plan: The Contractor will deliver a detailed communications plan that serves as a roadmap for informing, engaging and empowering stakeholders pre and post-deployment. Grounded in insights gathered during Phase 1, the plan will define communication strategies that are timely, targeted and aligned with broader State agency approaches – ensuring the right message reaches the right audience through the right channel at the right time.
The plan will include the communication activity, channel, delivery date, sender, audience and key messages. Communications will support the deployment, go-live and training, making it clear what is expected of stakeholders throughout the deployment journey.
ii. Communication Materials: This deliverable brings together a suite of communication materials designed to support the eApplications deployment.
Communication assets will be selected and designed based on user needs, but could include: email communications, email templates, branding & awareness graphics (display on monitors or physical posters), newsletter templates, or go-live communication packages (communications and supplemental materials). The materials will be co-created with State program leadership and tested with Change Advocates to reflect user needs and agency context.
iii. Training Plan : The Contractor will refine the existing training plan based on the Contractors change management strategy to effectively support the deployment and adoption of eApplications. Building on insights gathered during Phase 1—including stakeholder feedback and the learning needs assessment—the Contractor will evaluate the current training approach and provide targeted recommendations for improvement.
The refined plan will address training deployment, support and measurement strategies across all stakeholder groups identified, including Troopers, Supervisors, agency staff and help desk employees. For end-users, the plan will include updates to the training schedule, support plan, and materials based on pilot feedback from change advocates. For CJIC staff and help desk employees, the Contractor will assess current preparation resources and recommend updates to policies, procedures and work guides. The Contractor will also make recommendations for training and working sessions.
To measure training effectiveness, the Contractor will develop a metrics strategy that includes completion rates, user feedback, help desk trends, and performance indicators. These insights will support continuous improvement of training.
1.2.3 Phase 3 – Deploy & Sustain:
In Phase 3, the Contractor will deploy change tactics for quick impact, learning and adapting. Guided by Contractor’s agile and human-centered methodology, the Contractor will release various communications, training and change engagement tactics. The Contractors focus is to take care of users as they navigate their new ways of working, providing clear communications, instructions, supporting materials and on-demand support to provide a seamless transition.
The final phase, Sustain, will focus on post–go-live support through a structured hypercare model.
This will help users feel confident and supported during their initial interactions with the eApplications modules. It will also be a key opportunity to collect feedback and data from a broader user base, helping us assess users experience of the system and inform future improvements.
a. Key Activities:
i. Deploy change management tactics to end users: During this phase, the
Contractor recommend launching a coordinated set of communications, training, engagement and change tactics to build awareness, foster desire for the change and equip impacted stakeholder groups with the necessary skills to adopt the eApplications enhancements. The Contractor will work closely with State agency staff to confirm the training plan and communications are executed as intended, while making final refinements to communication messaging, supplemental materials and documentation as needed.
The Contractor will also partner with agency staff to deploy the training measurement strategy during this phase, focusing on evaluating the effectiveness of training and identifying areas for refinement.
ii. Conduct working sessions to formalize the hypercare structure and plan:
To support end users following deployment the Contractor will facilitate working sessions with agency staff and managers to formalize the hypercare structure and plan. These sessions will clarify the purpose and boundaries of hypercare – centered on resolving priority issues, supporting users during initial go-live, and capturing early feedback. Key parameters such as hypercare duration, user groups covered, and transition criteria to steady-state support will be outlined.
To support help desk readiness, the Contractor will co-develop a hypercare kickoff communication to guide help desk staff. The kickoff presentation will clarify roles, highlight the value of help desk employees contributions, and explain the purpose and process of hypercare, equipping help desk employees to assist users effectively during this critical phase.
iii. Facilitate end-user focus groups to capture feedback post go-live: The
Contractor will design and facilitate go-live focus groups to gather qualitative feedback from end users on their experience with the eApplications rewrite enhancements. These sessions will be structured to explore specific themes such as training quality, awareness, preparedness, resource availability, and overall sentiment. Discussions will be guided by curated questions and include participation from change and public safety SMEs.
In addition to change management topics, the focus groups will also explore recommendations related to system design and functionality. Feedback will be categorized to distinguish between technology/design-related input and change management-related input, allowing State staff to address each area appropriately.
i. Hypercare approach: This deliverable defines a focused post-deployment support model to assist end users during the initial rollout of the eApplications module. In collaboration with agency staff, the Contractor will design a support structure that may include tiered levels—such as self-service, frontline support, and expert escalation—as appropriate to the agency’s needs. Roles and responsibilities will be clarified, and a central coordination channel will be established to manage communications, oversight, and feedback.
A hypercare kickoff presentation will be developed to orient help desk and support staff. It will outline the operations, duration, and workflows of the hypercare phase, including expectations and escalation processes. This approach is intentionally focused on immediate post-go-live support and stabilization, with flexibility to adapt based on CJIC’s preferred support model.
ii. Post-deployment Experience Feedback: This deliverable captures and analyzes end-user feedback during the go-live period to inform both short-term adjustments and longer-term planning. Feedback will be gathered through focus groups conducted after deployment, with a focus on user sentiment, training effectiveness, and overall experience. The resulting report will summarize key findings and provide recommendations for refining communications, training, and support materials. Importantly, feedback will be categorized to distinguish between system design and functionality recommendations versus change management-related insights. This separation will help State agency staff prioritize actions and inform a future enhancement backlog that reflects both technical and user experience considerations.
To deepen insight, user feedback will be overlaid onto the Target State Journey Map to visualize where users are experiencing ongoing pain points, unmet needs, or areas of opportunity, highlighting both challenges and bright spots across the user experience.
SCHEDULE A-1 OPTIONAL SCOPE OF WORK
User Feedback Playbook
Building on the current and target state journey maps outlined in the Statement of Work, this optional add-on helps the State go further transforming those artifacts into a living, strategic tool that powers continuous discovery and iterative improvement.
Rather than stopping at documentation, this playbook helps the State move from collecting user feedback to confidently acting on it. Through a co-creative workshop, Contractor will review early post-deployment focus group insights and facilitate the development of a refined future-state journey map for a high-impact workflow. This session brings post-deployment realities into focus and helps stakeholders ideate around what “better” could look like based on real user input.
The resulting high-fidelity map is embedded directly into the playbook, serving as a visual anchor for ongoing prioritization, design decisions, and stakeholder alignment. It reflects trooper and staff lived experiences—building trust and reinforcing that their voices are being heard.
The playbook includes a repeatable framework for synthesizing qualitative input and translating it into feasible, user-centered solutions. Using HCD-based facilitation methods—such as structured ideation, impact vs. effort mapping, and decision-making exercises— State teams will be coached to move beyond pain points and toward actionable next steps.
This deliverable also builds internal capacity, empowering the State with tools and guidance to run future sessions, strengthen cross-team collaboration, and cultivate a culture of continuous feedback and iteration.
Outcomes
1. Builds trust with troopers and staff by involving them in the process.
2. Shows users that their input directly informs improvements and encourages deeper engagement.
3. Deciphers feedback into action and highlights where to focus next, anchored in real workflow context.
4. Gives the State the structure to move from raw insights to prioritized refinements based on feasibility and impact.
5. Reveals what “better” looks like and visualizes the ideal user experience grounded in post-deployment realities
6. Aligns leadership, ops and IT around the path forward and drives strategic prioritization.
7. Equips the State with an easy-to-use framework and repeatable model for future user-centered iteration.
The goal is to visualize a better, more efficient, and trooper-centered experience for one top-priority workflow, while building internal capacity to sustain iteration.
Key Inputs:
1. Post-deployment focus group insights and observational data.
2. Post-deployment workflows and known enhancement goals across eAICS and eDaily.
3. Design and facilitation expertise from Contractor prior public-sector HCD initiatives.
How It Helps the State:
1. Surfaces critical experience gaps between the intended target state (December enhancements) and the lived reality of troopers and staff, post-deployment.
2. Visualizes what “better” could look like through a co-created future-state journey map that grounds leadership decisions in real workflows, priorities, and context—fueling design recommendations that reflect operational truth.
3. Fosters shared understanding and alignment by giving stakeholders a clear, visual reference point and shared language to communicate pain points, tradeoffs, and desired outcomes.
4. Enables more intentional iteration by illuminating remaining friction points and unmet needs—prioritizing improvements that are rooted in field experience, not assumption.
5. Builds capacity for continuous discovery by equipping State agency teams with the mindset, tools, and lightweight playbook to sustain user-centered refinement long after go-live.
Deliverables and Timing:
1. User Feedback Playbook: A tailored guide to help the State’s structure and scale the transformation of qualitative user insights into actionable clear, iterative design and system improvements over time. Inside the User Feedback Playbook there is the future state journey map: A single, co-created visual representation that reimagines one high-priority workflow (eAICS or eDaily) grounded in post-deployment trooper feedback—designed to surface friction, clarify user needs, and guide strategic iteration.
