Avnikant Singh 🇮🇳’s Post

Reflecting on the insightful session I held with Carl Nordbeck at SAPSA - SAP Swedish User Group Impuls event earlier this week (Why do SAP transformations fail to deliver expected business value?). We had great engaging discussions and recived valuable feedback from all participants. 𝙷̲𝚎̲𝚛̲𝚎̲ ̲𝚊̲𝚛̲𝚎̲ ̲𝚊̲ ̲𝚏̲𝚎̲𝚠̲ ̲𝚔̲𝚎̲𝚢̲ ̲𝚝̲𝚊̲𝚔̲𝚎̲𝚊̲𝚠̲𝚊̲𝚢̲𝚜̲ ̲𝚏̲𝚛̲𝚘̲𝚖̲ ̲𝚝̲𝚑̲𝚎̲ ̲𝚜̲𝚎̲𝚜̲𝚜̲𝚒̲𝚘̲𝚗̲:̲ 💵𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿: It's essential to think about the resources and time invested in transformations. Failure to meet expected outcomes will cost more than adding change resources to the equation. Additionally, the emotions created during a transformation will carry over into the next one. Negative emotions can create an uphill battle for future transformations. 🗣️𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:  Leaders often think they should wait to communicate until they have something concrete to share. However, sometimes communicating that you have nothing to share is also valuable. It's about maintaining transparency and keeping everyone informed. 🚀𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Transformations are not one-time events but ongoing processes. It's crucial to foster a culture of continuous learning and adaptation. This means being open to feedback, learning from past experiences, and being willing to adjust strategies as needed.

Are your management practices ad hoc or systematic?🌐   💡 #SAP learning journey reflection in 'The Daily Drucker' reading!  🌟 The 27th article out of 366 is ‘The Discipline of Management’ 🚀 🌍Dear Reader, in this article 'The Discipline of Management,' Drucker emphasizes that true innovation in management lies in understanding and replicating practices, as illustrated by Peter Drucker's seminal work "The Practice of Management," which integrated principles from diverse fields like engineering, accounting, psychology, and labor relations, emphasizing the importance of a systematic and disciplined approach to management. The key action point is to assess whether one's management practices are ad hoc or systematic. 🗺️Connecting Drucker's principles to the world of #SAP solutions, I find it evident that #SAP promotes a similar approach to disciplined management. SAP's emphasis on systematic processes and integrated solutions resonates with Drucker's belief in combining various tools to create a comprehensive kit for effective management. ➕Take #SAP ERP as an example. This solution optimizes various departments within a company by breaking down silos and leveraging strengths. In the supply chain, production, and other areas, #SAP ERP ensures seamless communication and collaboration, eliminating bottlenecks and enhancing overall efficiency driving the company toward success. ⚖️In essence, Peter Drucker's concept of discipline in management harmonizes seamlessly with the functionalities of #SAP solutions. Both emphasize the need for systematic approaches, leveraging strengths, and fostering collaboration for sustained success. 🎯🥇 Action Point - ➤Are your management practices ad hoc or systematic⚡️ (Drucker, 2004). According to 'The Daily Drucker: 366 Days of Insight and Motivation for Getting the Right Things Done,' by Peter F. Drucker, published by HarperCollins e-books.

With over 15 years of experience managing large SAP projects and teams, I’ve come to recognize that effective communication is the bedrock of any successful initiative. In complex projects involving diverse stakeholders and intricate processes, the importance of clear and strategic communication cannot be overstated. Here’s why effective communication is critical in our field: 🔑 Building Trust and Fostering Collaboration: To establish trust among team member and stakeholder , clear and consistent communication is very important. 📈 Enhancing Efficiency and Productivity: Effective communication minimizes misunderstandings and errors, streamlining processes and enhancing overall productivity. Its important for everyone to understand their roles and responsibilities so project can run smoothly. 🏆 Driving Engagement and Motivation: A well-informed team is an engaged and motivated team. By keeping lines of communication open, we can foster a positive work environment that encourages creativity and commitment. 📊 Enabling Informed Decision-Making: Sharing relevant information and encouraging diverse perspectives lead to more informed and effective decision-making. This holistic approach ensures that all potential impacts are considered. Here are some key best practices for effective communication that I can recommend. 1) Clarity and Conciseness: Use clear language and avoid unnecessary jargon to ensure everyone understands the message. 2) Active Listening: Prioritize listening to understand, not just to respond. This builds empathy and fosters stronger relationships. 3) Feedback Mechanisms: Encourage and value feedback to continually improve communication processes. 4) Regular Follow-Ups: I cannot overstate the importance of regular follow-ups. Often, follow-ups provide more insights than the initial discussions and lead to more satisfied team members. This practice demonstrates that leaders genuinely care about their team's input and progress. What tools and methodologies do you use for effective communication?

The end of the project is the only the start. Managing an ERP or Digital Transformation has various project stages before a phase is implemented. Think of these phases as the warm up act before headline performer. Sounds crazy right? ➡ Years of effort building the team and solution ➡ Blood, sweat, and tears getting it over the line ➡ And you're only at the start... This may sound dramatic but it is reality. It is only when you get the solution in the hands of the wider team that you really begin the journey of understanding the true impact and return on investment. This is why Change Management is essential in ERP or Digital Transformation projects. Early engagement and adoption by the wider business is key in ensuring a successful transition to the new ways of working. #erp #digitaltransformation #changemanagement #leadership #digitalmarketing #changeleadership #erpimplementation

C-Suite Leadership, Let's test your wisdom. You or your corperation has decided to implement a new ERP, upgrade the current ERP, or replace the current ERP with a different ERP. Within the project structure you or your steering committee assigned resources to the project, most likely two or three in a box. From within your organization you or your Team selected one business resource and one technology resource. You or your staff will decide to backfill or not backfill the resources within your organization. Let's fastforward to the successful Go-Live of the project. What's the most important decision you and your team will make regarding your "two in a box?" The future of your business plan, depends the success of what was built and how it executes at the transactional level. Will you and your team? A) Let your "two in a box" leave the organization with all the functional, technical, and tribal knowledge of what they just built based on your business requirements? B) Assign your "two in a box" to the leadership of the module they just functionally and technically built, mandating the leadership solicit their knowledge prior to making strategic decisions that will impact your business plan/requirements ensuring profit? C) Remain disengaged hoping what was just built is able to transact each business requirement; optimizing people, processes, and products resulting in additional profit to the shareholders. My encouragement is that you make sure you are involved in managing your "two in a box," it's the most important responsibility and accountability you have regarding this capital investment. Be proactive, don't wait until Go-Live to engage your "two in a box." Find it pure joy, managing what you are responsible for. Encourage your team to success, ask questions exposing accountability.
