Project group
The upgrading process will affect many stakeholders on different levels. To ensure involvement of all relevant stakeholders I advise to restructure the stakeholders being involved but also the communication lines and reporting structure.
There are three levels of stakeholders involved:
Group
G2M team
Country

The G2M manager will report to management on the progress of OKRs, lessons learned and strategic decisions regarding the upgrade process on a bi-weekly basis.
Stakeholders: Lars Vangen Jordet, Arild Nilsen, Camilla Ransom, Line Tonne and Country managers.
