Change Program for ERP Implementation
This newly acquired national organization planned to integrate all legacy “backbone” systems within the parent company’s ERP framework. This change involved a restructure in critical processes, ways of working, reporting across the company, and impacted everyone from franchisees to Finance. They needed a change partner to manage the impacts.
Course of Action:
We created a Change Strategy & Plan that proactively prepared the organization by defining:
- Those impacted by the change and essential stakeholders for achieving results
- Alignment & integration of related or competing enterprise-wide changes
- New processes, ways of working and reporting following the ERP implementation
- Our team designed a Communications Strategy & Execution Plan with core messaging to communicate the “why” and ensure understanding for individuals and teams
- We redesigned processes and mapped out the future state
- We developed & led their education program by educating & training all users on the new processes & system, including the impact on their work
Results:
1.Successful implementation of a new ERP solution for corporate and franchise operations
2.Engaged 60+ corporate stakeholder groups, over 3000 franchise stores, and 350+ franchise business groups
3.Facilitated process change discussions and documented 70+ financial processes
4.Developed audience-specific multi-media communications to drive awareness and understanding.
