process for 2011/12 is now closed.
The Forest Analysis and Inventory Branch will
review all of the suggested changes and will consider them in terms
of appropriateness, cost effectiveness, impact on statistical
reliability and the ability to incorporate the change within the
current database structure. For this reason not all suggested changes will be

Change Management 2011
Overview of Inventory Streamlining Changes and Change Management Process
(April 4th 2011)
In March, 2010, in response to significant
resourcing constraints, the Ministry conducted a review of all business
areas. As a consequence of this review, a business response document was
produced that recommended all non-essential projects be dropped while
streamlining (or simplifying) others that could be trimmed down.
The Forest Inventory Section of the Forest Analysis and Inventory
Branch (FAIB) initiated several inventory streamlining projects.
The purpose of these projects was to determine how the Branch
could reduce the financial and staff commitments required to maintain
the inventory without significantly impacting standards and while
maintaining or improving delivery.
Four of these projects,
covered in the inventory streamlining document that is now
posted to the FAIB VRI Change Management website, result in
changes to how VRI is planned, implemented and subsequently analyzed, as
follows:
-
Streamlining inventory ground sampling;
-
Streamlining NVAF implementation;
-
Streamlining VRI attribute analysis, and
-
Streamlining inventory planning.
Please refer to this document for an overview of these changes.
