Your SAP change management plan will make or break your ERP investment.
In the journey to digital transformation with SAP, too many implementation strategies discount the critical importance of managing change efforts continuously throughout the implementation process. Sustainable, successful change tailors change management theories and best practices to your specific industry while also accommodating your organizational nuances, business objectives, and culture.
Solutions
Our approach to SAP change management follows our proven Analyze-Design-Implement-Evaluate-Sustain methodology. We have a robust OCM methodology, but what is more important is the ability to navigate each organizational situation. We call this the “art of change management.” Our philosophy is not to manage the change that is going to happen, but rather to build a strategy that helps you visualize the change, understand and articulate the future vision, and then enable the organization to embrace the change. When managing change across multiple locations, it is critical for the implementation plan to ensure these elements are instituted and evaluated based on individual site’s operations, cultures, and impact of the new technology and associated processes.
