The Business Improvement Package (BIP), initiated by CLG and available since March 2007, has been significantly extended with material developed by SW RIEP which went live in October 2007. This work was financially supported by CLG and was carried out by SW RIEP on behalf of the RIEPs nationally.
The BIP describes the whole change life cycle, and the supporting activities needed to manage and support change. It provides hyperlinks to a wealth of good practice materials.

Further extensions to the BIP are in the pipeline – it is a continually developing resource.
Materials developed by SW RIEP for the BIP
SW RIEP's extensions to the BIP content were originally prepared as a Word document. This is still available for download, but has not been significantly updated since July 2007 so many of its embedded hyperlinks are now out of date. It has been retained for the benefit of those who prefer to read a paper version rather than view the BIP online.
