Reduce time to ROI

Change management engagement expected to return savings in customization

The Challenge

An industrial conglomerate looked to speed the adoption of an ERP implementation across multiple companies and locations.
Employees were unsure how decisions were made and what their role was in the implementation process. This led to many people being pessimistic, which caused delays in launching and increased costs.

Goal

Faster ROI: Speed adoption and reduce delays and cost overages due to unneeded or unexpected customization requirements.

Stakeholders

CEO, IT leadership, ERP implementation vendor, project team, site leadership, and employees.
