Engaging the Organization Beyond the Technology
Our Approach to the IT Project
A high number of businesses report that enterprise IT success is
elusive. Technology or the software itself is rarely cited as the
reason for a system implementation failure. Typically, a company does
not engage the whole organization and share the "integration vision"
with those using the new system(s). Additional factors:
- Lack of organizational readiness for change.
- Insufficient support for the necessary changes.
- Lack of alignment with strategic goals.
- Insufficient sponsorship and user involvement.
- Unrealistic expectations.
Bringing the organization to a common understanding and expectation is
the greatest challenge in any IT project. It's difficult to get
everyone on board, engaged, and aligned. Key considerations for
successful engagement of the organization include:
- Developing a well thought out change leadership program.
- Broadly communicating a clear and compelling reason for the change and a well defined view of the future.
- Ensuring that all stakeholders understand the new processes, procedures, and roles and responsibilities.
- Designing measurements, rewards, and recognition for
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) success, and clearly communicating
these so they're understood throughout the organization.
The change leadership program should address three questions:
- What's the degree of change readiness?
- What company specific programs are needed to ensure acceptance?
- How can an appropriate, effective change leadership program be developed and implemented?
When you provide a well defined view of the future, explaining how the
new technology will improve processes and enhance business success, you
lay the foundation on which the successful implementation of a project
is built.
