Why Be Ready for Change?
When you invest in business transformative software environments you take an important step. You come closer to a streamlined business, aiming for competitive advantage.
The success of your implementation is ultimately dependent on the people that work with that system.
Be Ready for Change and its partners have many years of international experience with successful development of customised documentation and training material to support world wide software implementations.
What goes wrong during planning?
Often we encounter gaps in the planning of complex software implementations. As time progresses it becomes increasingly difficult to deal with these issues. Too often such gaps can only be closed through additional efforts and at high cost.
What causes those gaps in planning:
- Lack of executive commitment
- Lack of strong sponsorship
- No well-defined case for change
- Lack of transparency and accountability
- Lack of corporate strategy that cascades effectively
- Lack of alignment on strategy at the division or department level
- Systems and processes that do not align
- IT and the business do not communicate well
- Cultural issues such as; lack of accountability, lack of willingness to make commitments, lack of clearly-articulated rules for success, etc
What goes wrong during execution?
From experience we now know that many things can go wrong during the execution phase of a plan.
Projects stall due to:
- No sense of urgency, no focus, no priority
- Poor sponsorship
- Willingness to compromise on scope or functionality
- Poor communication
- Company did not learn from past mistakes
- The impact is underestimated (usually by 10x)
- Training is the only change management activity
- Trying to implement a broken process
People, processes and systems often get separated. We help you mitigate this risk.
