Obtaining an Executive Sponsor
Almost everyone is interested in mobile working, but projects that succeed are the
ones that have an execu�ve champion with a defined budget who knows how to
measure success.
Projects without a sponsor and budget o�en fail because management doesn't
understand the value proposi�on. If the project team is unable to demonstrate the
ROI of a flexible workplace, the project will likely stall.
An ideal sponsor has some of the following characteris�cs:
• A vested interest in the success of the program
• Manages the business group which will be most affected by the program
• Understands the value proposi�on
• Has enough influence to make decisions s�ck
• Will champion the program internally, and communicate its benefits to peers
