Step 4 Task 4c: Prepare implementation and monitoring proposal for top management approval

 


Top management’s support is again needed for the implementation and monitoring of feasible options in the short term. The Team should prepare a proposal for an Implementation and Monitoring Plan to top management (see Worksheet 18):

  • An introduction
  • Number of options identified, options investigated for feasibility, feasible options, options requiring further investigation, and unfeasible options
  • Options recommended for implementation in the short term:
    • Total estimated investment required, annual ongoing costs, annual savings and payback period
    • Total estimated environmental benefits (energy, GHG emissions and resources/wastes)
    • Most important other reasons for implementation
    • Most persistent and difficult barriers and proposed solutions
    • Table with list of options including technical, economical, environmental, reasons and barriers for each individual option
  • Team (who will carry out the implementation and monitoring, including external facilitators/consultants)
  • Communication of results to top management and staff
  • Appendices with
    • Worksheets 16 for options recommended for implementation in the short term
    • Worksheet 17 with details and ranking of all options investigated

The proposal is then sent to top management for comments and approval. If an external facilitator, consultant or service provider is needed for the implementation and monitoring, a contract is signed. See Company examples for examples from companies that participated in the GERIAP project on how they prepared this proposal to top management.
