Implementing a new customer relationship management (CRM)

Implementing a new customer relationship management (CRM) Your project team is charged with implementing a new customer relationship management (CRM) software application within the next 30 days. The intended consequence of successfully implementing the CRM program is to provide both your sales and customer service departments more agility and flexibility with engaging existing and prospective customers. The directive from executive leadership is to partner with at least one sales person and one customer service representative in addition to the team members from IT. You will select the customer service representative. Consider the vision for what a successful project team looks like in an organizational setting. Determine the needs of the various stakeholder groups (e.g., sales department, customer service, and IT). Assess the competing agendas of each stakeholder and determine the strategies that the team will use to address and resolve conflict in order to create a win-win scenario for all involved. Further, determine which strategies will be most effective for implementing the CRM software, training and developing employees, and achieving the 30-day target for implementation. 500-750 words with a justification, and summary of the decision-making process that addresses the following: 1.
