Change Management Challenges

When we talk about data strategy, we obsess over systems, governance, and business value. What we forget to obsess about is incentives. Here's a hard truth from many years spent in data-driven transformation: Data strategies don't fail because of technology. They fail because John in Sales cares about deals and not data quality, because Sarah in Operations has 20 more urgent tasks than data documentation, and because no one in the C-Suite is glancing at that fancy new dashboard for any of their decision making. Lasting change only happens when good data practices and data-driven thinking become personally valuable: When documenting data increases the annual bonus. When cleaning data fast-tracks a promotion. When data-driven decision making influences performance reviews. When managers earn respect for changing their mind based on data. We must therefore rethink how we approach the human side of data strategy. When it comes to people, it's not enough to talk about Data Literacy and Data Culture. We need a candid conversation about incentives. Often when I raise this point, the initial reaction is a little dismissive ("if it's good for the company, it will turn out to be good for the individual"), sometimes even slightly hostile ("if employees don't understand the importance of data, they're at the wrong place"). This is naive and lazy thinking. Understanding and communicating the value of data at a company level is a solvable challenge. If, however, data-driven behaviors aren't appreciated or rewarded in day-to-day work, who can fault employees and management for prioritizing urgent short-term tasks over long-term investments in data? There’s a difference between saying "this will save the company millions" and "this will save you hours every week and advance your career." Organizational researchers have long understood that organizations work at three levels: Company, team, and individual. True transformation happens at the intersection of these levels, when organizational needs and personal growth align. Miss the personal level, however, and you're building a digital castle in the air. So ask yourself this crucial question: "How do we align data culture with daily work experience?" If you can't answer that question with specific examples and convincing incentives, your data strategy needs to get personal. When good data practices become a path to personal success, cultural change will follow naturally.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗘𝗥𝗣 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹? 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵, not the business transformation it truly is. Listening to my network, there seems to be a rush to complete ERP migrations, as fast as possible, with SAP S/4HANA plans driving most of it. But an ERP system is more than just an IT upgrade. It’s a chance to redesign how your business operates and build a solution architecture that supports agility and innovation. While necessary, these migrations often become redundant without proper alignment to business goals. Something, I've seen happen! Here some get rights to consider: ◉ 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 Ensure that IT and business leaders are on the same page. ERP systems serve broader business objectives, such as innovation, improving procurement strategies, and enhancing supplier relationships. ◉ 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀. Instead of getting caught up in the technology itself, be clear about the business benefits you'd like to achieve. New ERP functionality can be of support to achieve goals like efficiency, cost reduction, and agility. ◉ 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗱-𝘁𝗼-𝗲𝗻𝗱 Don't just migrate complex, outdated processes but streamline them end-to-end. Reevaluate processes for efficiency and desired outcomes. ◉ 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 - 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 ERP migrations often fail due to poor user adoption. Beyond training, invest in communication & ongoing support showing the value and relevance of the system to users. ◉ 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ERP impacts every area of the business, so cross-team collaboration is essential. Involve stakeholders from finance, procurement, IT, and operations ensures the system meets everyone’s needs. ◉ 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 - 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 An ERP system is only as good as the data it processes. Ensure that data is clean, consistent, and reliable before migration. Dirty or incomplete data is one of the biggest challenges post-go-live. ◉ 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Choose an architecture which allows for future-proofing and integration of new features, scalability and integration. Business models evolve, and your ERP must evolve with them." ◉ 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 - 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 Don’t rush an implementation. ERP migrations are complex and require time to integrate properly. A phased approach allows for troubleshooting and mitigates a risk for failure. ❓Any other "get rights" i missed and you would add from your experience. #erp #businesstransformation #migration #sap4hana

🇸🇾🇸🇹🇪🇲🇸 🇹🇭🇮🇳🇰🇮🇳🇬 This was the single biggest learning I took from my years as a #diversity and #inclusion practitioner at Google, thanks to my brilliant former colleague Dr. Myosha M. – who introduced the concept to me. And seeing Harvard Business Review spotlight it this month reminded me just how pivotal it's been in shaping my career. The article makes a clear point: many "innovations" create as many problems as they solve, because they're designed in silos. Plastics made life cheaper and more convenient – and created an ecological nightmare. Ride-sharing expanded access – and gutted livelihoods. Breakthroughs and design thinking alone can't handle wicked problems. That's where systems thinking comes in: zooming out to see interdependencies, ripple effects, and relationships before zooming in to act. And honestly, DEI are the definition of a wicked problem: complex, entwined, yet unresolved despite the best efforts of people with noble interests at heart. Too often, we see linear, surface-level fixes like: ‣ Rolling out #UnconsciousBias training hoping that alone changes culture; ‣ Announcing hiring targets without rethinking criteria nor shifting retention practices; ‣ Celebrating "heritage months" without shifting power or budgets. A systems lens flips that: ‣ Instead of just bias training → embed equity checks and accountability loops into promotion processes, feedback systems, and manager incentives; ‣ Instead of hiring targets → redesign career paths so that minoritised employees stay, grow, and lead; ‣ Instead of one-off cultural celebrations → rewire procurement, governance, and leadership pipelines to shift actual resources and decision-making power. The HBR piece – written by Tima Bansal & Julian Birkinshaw – outlines four moves that resonate deeply with DEI work: 1️⃣ Define a desired future state (equity not as a slogan, but as the organisation's actual vision); 2️⃣ Reframe problems so they resonate across stakeholders (it's not "fixing women" but redesigning systems of overwork, pay, and recognition); 3️⃣ Focus on flows and relationships, not just one-off events (think: sponsorship networks, not just mentoring matchmaking); 4️⃣ Nudge the system forward with experiments (pilots that test structural change, then scale). These may sound abstract at first, but they're actually more grounded and effective than the window-dressing that burns out practitioners and disappoints employees while fuelling anti-DEI rhetoric. Because here's the thing: equity work should never be a side project, something delegated to an amateur, or a PR play. It's inherently a system redesign. And once you see it through that lens, the work gets harder — but also genuinely transformative. 💬 Curious: looking at your own org's DEI efforts, which feel most aligned to #SystemsThinking? ⬇️ Link to the article in comments.

Resistance is universal. In every transformation I’ve worked on, resistance shows up. Not because people are difficult, but because change disrupts something. It may be routines, status, certainty or even identity. Over time, I’ve learned that resistance isn’t generic. It has different faces. Here are some that I have observed. 1. The fence sitters. They’re not against you. They’re just waiting. Waiting to see if this is real, if leadership will stay the course, if the metrics will actually matter. They move when momentum becomes undeniable. 2. The quiet blockers. They agree in meetings, nod at targets, and somehow timelines keep slipping. This is rarely rebellion. More often it’s risk management, transparency feels exposing, and exposure feels unsafe. 3. The comfort-zone protectors. Performance is “good enough.” The plant is running. The numbers aren’t disastrous. So why disrupt equilibrium? What looks like complacency is often a rational bias toward stability. 4. The Identity defenders. They struggle when a new system replaces the old heroics they built their careers on. When process replaces instinct, it can feel like loss of relevance. 5. The skeptics, usually experienced, often sharp. They’ve seen waves of initiatives roll through. Their resistance isn’t emotional. It’s historical. They’re asking, “What makes this one different?” 6. The exhausted. People aren’t unwilling; they’re overwhelmed. When capacity is maxed out, even the right change feels like one more burden. Management theory has names for all of this. ↳ Lewin called it the tension between driving and restraining forces. ↳ Kotter reminds us urgency must outweigh complacency. ↳ ADKAR tells us awareness and desire must come before ability and reinforcement. In one mining transformation, a key stakeholder kept committing to targets but progress stalled. It wasn’t sabotage. It was fear of missing publicly. Once early quick wins proved achievable and support was visible, his stance shifted. Not because we pushed harder, but because we reduced perceived risk. Such experiences have changed how I look at resistance. I stopped asking, “How do we eliminate it?” and started asking, “What kind is this?” → Fence sitters need proof. → Skeptics need credibility. → Comfort seekers need aspiration. → Identity defenders need respect. → The overwhelmed need simplification. Transformation isn’t about overpowering resistance. It’s about diagnosing it, and responding with the right lever. When you do that well, the same people who hesitated often become your strongest champions. #Leadership #Transformation #Mindset ------------------- I write regularly on People | Leadership | Transformation | Sustainability.

You’re not alone if you’ve noticed that, despite the time and resources invested, the DEI training programs in your organization aren’t delivering the impact you expected. The reality is, success isn’t just determined by the commitment of the participants —it’s heavily influenced also by how the program is structured and delivered. There are key signs to watch for that may suggest your DEI program is like a broken ladder, making it difficult for employees to climb toward meaningful change Here are 8 common pitfalls to watch out for, and what you can do to ensure the DEI trainings in your organization make a lasting impact: ❌ Single-session workshops ✅ Effective DEI programs involve spaced learning, delivered over time to allow for deeper understanding and lasting impact ❌ Same content for people in different roles  ✅ Does the training feel generic, like it’s meant for everyone but relevant to no one? A good DEI program should be tailored to specific roles and the needs of your group. ❌ Focusing on compliance and what not to do ✅ The focus should be on modeling inclusive behaviors and showing what to do in real situations and how to incorporate them into daily work ❌ Copy-pasting training content from global DEI programs ✅ If it feels like the examples or exercises don’t really apply to your workplace, the content may have been copy-pasted from global programs. Check how the material has been adjusted to reflect your specific organization’s culture and challenges. ❌ Run by passionate DEI advocates with no facilitation experience ✅ A passionate facilitator is great, but they should also know how to manage group dynamics and keep discussions productive. Pay attention to whether the facilitator is able to navigate complex conversations and make the space feel safe for everyone. ❌ Raising awareness without driving behavioral change ✅ DEI training should focus on translating awareness into concrete actions that people can start practicing immediately. ❌ Ignoring pushback and concerns ✅ A DEI training that shies away from tough conversations might miss real issues. Good training fosters open dialogue, allowing participants to voice concerns and discuss challenges openly. ❌ No follow-up or next steps ✅ A truly impactful program provides follow-up phases for implementation, ensuring the lessons learned are integrated and built upon. By paying attention to these aspects, you can transform the DEI training program into one that delivers meaningful, lasting change. Do any of these issues resonate with you? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I’ve spent the past few days on calls and emails, helping leaders, HR professionals, and DEI practitioners figure out how to meet this moment without burning out.  It’s not uncharted territory—we’ve weathered years of upheaval, learning to adapt, keep things moving, and care for our teams. But it’s still hard, and it helps to remember that you don’t have to do it alone. Navigating this moment can feel like walking a tightrope. The issues demanding our attention seem endless. On the one hand, we’re expected to stay neutral, steering clear of politics at work, and on the other, staying silent when team members feel the real impacts of decisions can feel like letting them down. In moments like these, lean on the beautiful basics: ✅ Be a steady presence. You don’t need to have all the answers—no one does right now. What matters most is showing up for your team with care and consistency. Build trust and show them you’ll figure out whatever comes next together. ✅ Lean into your workplace rhythms. Every team member should know that a safe work environment is a priority—a place where they can turn, be heard, and find support—while respecting that some may choose to opt-out. If statements are your thing, go for it. It doesn’t have to be a big production. Use meetings, check-ins, or 1:1s as intentional moments to listen and connect. A simple "How can I support you?" or a thoughtful note can go a long way. ✅ Be clear about safety and well-being. Let your team know it’s OK (and encouraged) to step away, recharge, and care for themselves or their families. Be equally clear that harm to co-workers won’t be tolerated. Revisit your shared values and code of conduct (or create one if missing). If formal benefits aren’t available, small gestures—like gift cards, mindfulness breaks, or a fun playlist—can boost energy and lift spirits for those feeling worried, disengaged or burned out. ✅ Don’t forget about you. “You can’t pour from an empty cup” is a saying for a reason. Set boundaries, ask for support, and prioritize your well-being. You’re modeling what care and balance look like for your team. If your organization’s values and principles feel unclear, let this be your signal to take stock. Your team is paying attention. Show up with confidence, heart, and a steady presence. You’re not just navigating a moment; you’re shaping the conditions for your team to thrive. That’s powerful, meaningful work—and it starts with you. How are you showing up for your teams right now?

The biggest businesses can get major programmes horribly wrong. Here are 4 famous examples, the fundamental reasons for failure and how that might have been avoided. Hershey: Sought to replace its legacy IT systems with a more powerful ERP system. However, due to a rushed timeline and inadequate testing, the implementation encountered severe issues. Orders worth over $100 million were not fulfilled. Quarterly revenues fell by 19% and the share price by 8% Key Failures: ❌ Rushed implementation without sufficient testing ❌ Lack of clear goals for the transition ❌ Inadequate attention and resource allocation Hewlett Packard: Wanted to consolidate its IT systems into one ERP. They planned to migrate to SAP, expecting any issues to be resolved within 3 weeks. However, due to the lack of configuration between the new ERP and the old systems, 20% of customer orders were not fulfilled. Insufficient investment in change management and the absence of manual workarounds added to the problems. This entire project cost HP an estimated $160 million in lost revenue and delayed orders. Key Failures: ❌ Failure to address potential migration complications. ❌ Lack of interim solutions and supply chain management strategies. ❌ Inadequate change management planning. Miller Coors: Spent almost $100 million on an ERP implementation to streamline procurement, accounting, and supply chain operations. There were significant delays, leading to the termination of the implementation partner and subsequent legal action. Mistakes included insufficient research on ERP options, choosing an inexperienced implementation partner, and the absence of capable in-house advisers overseeing the project. Key Failures: ❌ Inadequate research and evaluation of ERP options. ❌ Selection of an inexperienced implementation partner. ❌ Lack of in-house expertise and oversight. Revlon: Another ERP implementation disaster. Inadequate planning and testing disrupted production and caused delays in fulfilling customer orders across 22 countries. The consequences included a loss of over $64 million in unshipped orders, a 6.9% drop in share price, and investor lawsuits for financial damages. Key Failures: ❌ Insufficient planning and testing of the ERP system. ❌ Lack of robust backup solutions. ❌ Absence of a comprehensive change management strategy. Lessons to be learned: ✅ Thoroughly test and evaluate new software before deployment. ✅ Establish robust backup solutions to address unforeseen challenges. ✅ Design and implement a comprehensive change management strategy during the transition to new tools and solutions. ✅ Ensure sufficient in-house expertise is available; consider capacity of those people as well as their expertise ✅ Plan as much as is practical and sensible ✅ Don’t try to do too much too quickly with too few people ✅ Don’t expect ERP implementation to be straightforward; it rarely is

A knee-jerk reaction to team resistance might be: “Fire them all and start again.” But here’s the truth you probably don’t want to hear: Your team isn’t resisting change, they’re resisting you. That’s a tough pill to swallow, but let’s be honest, change rarely fails because the idea is bad. It fails because trust is broken and because you skipped the “why,” and fear filled the silence you left behind. When your team pushes back, here’s what they’re really saying: “I don’t trust where this is going.” “No one asked me.” “I’m scared, and I don’t feel safe saying that out loud.” “You’ve changed things before and left us to clean up the mess.” Change is emotional, human, and messy. So if you want real buy-in? Don’t start with a strategy deck, start with your people. Here’s how: 1️⃣ Ask Invite input early. Before rolling out a change, ask your team what they think. What are their worries? What would make this easier for them? Use open-ended questions like: “What do you see as the biggest challenge here?” “How do you think this change could help us?” 2️⃣ Listen Really listen. Don’t just nod along, take notes, ask clarifying questions, and reflect back what you’re hearing. Acknowledge the emotion: “It sounds like you’re worried about how this will impact your workload. That’s a valid concern.” 3️⃣ Validate Show you value their perspective. Even if you can’t act on every suggestion, let them know their voice matters. Be transparent about any constraints. Make the change with them, not to them. Co-create solutions. Let the team own parts of the process. When things get tough, solve problems together, not in isolation. And when things get bumpy? Because they will: ✅ Celebrate the tiny wins, because they matter more than you think. ✅ Talk about the challenges and fix them together. When leaders try to solve the bumpiness alone, they leave their team feeling lost at sea. And let’s be honest, that’s a tough place to be left alone. So bring your team into the journey, or at least keep them in the discussion. My rule is simple: If it impacts them, communicate, don’t hide. Want to drive change that actually sticks? Start with trust, not tactics.

🌍 One Policy. Three Global Challenges. One Big Leadership Lesson. What works in one country can quietly fail in another. That’s the tension at the heart of my latest article. If you lead across borders, you already know this: A DEI strategy that looks strong at headquarters can become confusing, ineffective, or even risky when applied globally. In this article, I break down 3 of the biggest challenges global organizations face when trying to implement DEI across countries and cultures: ✅ Why DEI is understood differently across regions. ✅ How legal requirements can conflict from one country to another. ✅ What to do when you cannot collect the demographic data you need. Most importantly, I share practical ways leaders can respond without losing sight of inclusion, fairness, and business impact.
