A champion is a management representative who will be responsible for leading the EMS development and implementation effort. Not all small or medium-sized organizations have the luxury of choosing among multiple candidates, but your choice of project champion is critical. The champion should have the necessary authority, an understanding of the organization, and project management skills. The champion should be a “systems thinker” and must have the time to commit to the EMS-building process. The champion will be identified as the official spokesperson of the program.
The management representative has to be a person with executive level authority and experience in implementing management systems or other similar projects. The management representative is expected to draft an action plan that upper management will approve. This same person is expected to carry out the action plan by assigning tasks to specific people within the company. Therefore, this person must be a leader with clear communication abilities.
The selection of the EMS Champion should be discussed at the EMS Kick-Off meeting used to obtain management commitment. Once an individual has been selected to champion the EMS, a top company official should make all personnel aware that the EMS Champion will be facilitating the development and implementation of an EMS. This can be effectively communicated to all personnel through correspondence similar to the sample memorandum included after this section.
