Challenge

A large global organization was integrating a new enterprise software system to change the way human resources, finance and information services captured and utilized data. Goals for this initiative included: increase efficiency and consistency across the company, decrease bureaucracy, and improve the employee experience. Accelera was contracted to help ensure that this change was executed effectively and efficiently.

Solution

We consulted with our corporate contact to identify and empower the project team to do the following:

• Articulate project goals
• Define the ways the new system was different from the other one
• Determine the impacts to workflow and other downstream impacts of the change
• Decide what new training employees would need
• Create a detailed and meaningful project plan
• Develop measures to track progress and ensure sustainability
• Create hyper-care plans for post-implementation
• Define roles and responsibilities of project team members

Result

The client considered it a huge success. Change was implemented efficiently, with minimal work disruption and a higher than expected degree of employee support and buy-in.
