Description

Following experience as a Program Manager for an SAP migration, I developed an ERP implementation approach based on 4 pillars:

• Organization and architecture design aligned with strategic positioning and business needs,

• A reproducible, process-oriented program outlining the sequence of technical and organizational actions with appropriate governance,

• Risk analysis based on SAP project risk mapping,

• Optimization of the organization's transformation capabilities to remove obstacles and accelerate the program by auditing time-wasting sources in transformations.

This approach ensures delivery according to the predefined schedule.

This approach is based on 20 years of experience as a Project Manager / Program Manager in various transformations:

• SAP migration program - Management of BI reporting development,

• Strategy definition, positioning, and strategic alignment,

• Design and management of the development of an ERP transformation platform,

• Organizational transformation: agile, learning organization focused on performance and customers, Implementation of process-based management,

• Process modeling and optimization.

These experiences have taught me that 75% of obstacles in transformations stem not from the projects themselves but from the existing organization.

To address this and accelerate transformations, I propose an audit of 400 practices and a continuous improvement approach aimed at progressively eliminating all time-wasting sources in transformations.

Some acceleration solutions can be implemented within projects: new tools, new practices, progressive knowledge capitalization within repositories, participatory management methods, and strategy communication, etc.
