A friend of mine who happens to be a senior executive in a global engineering firm recently went through an aggressive ERP implementation and shared the experience of her new work style. Despite having an integrated ERP system, it was taking her way too long to get straightforward tasks done. Here is what she said.
“Every time there is a request from other departments, I have to spread out my training binders, carefully follow those fancy instructions while making sure I am getting in the right program codes, filling out the right fields and if I end up making a mistake I have to go all the way back to the first step again. It’s definitely slowing me down. Do you even know what it does to my self-esteem ?
Does this sound like a problem that you experienced in your project? And you might have blamed it on inadequate training or shortcomings of your ERP?
It’s given that the change management impacts of such systems implementations are enormous and discounting such impacts can result in increased calls to the help desk or support center, lower user adoption, and in some cases, absolute opposition to the new systems.
Companies are spending a ton of money in managing change by continuously writing ,updating, printing , distributing and delivering training materials during and after the project.
But these efforts solve only part of the problem.
Let’s be honest.
You, me and all the others in our global community know that no matter how hard we try, it’s just “humanly impossible” for anyone to obtain a deep understanding of the new systems terminology, new concepts and the new procedures during the early years of ERP. We are not robots.
The result — we feel ill-prepared to handle the new systems. We end up with our most talented people pulling out their hair, missing family time, working way too hard and still having trouble getting things done on time.
And here is more…
As time goes on, these users find workarounds to construct their own shadow systems and bandage-tools in order to get their job done. We lose on user adoption!!!
