In order to lead transformation projects to success Corporate Business Solutions makes the change as easy as possible. A strategy is developed at the beginning that describes why change is necessary, what the change process should look like and when the project will be successfully completed. A high-performing project team is formed to work together, communicate the changes in an understandable language and empower employees to grow with and through the change.

The Corporate Business Solutions approach is based on six central pillars: change strategy, stakeholder and organizational analysis, change network, change impact, communication and employee and team enablement. These six pillars provide the foundations for SAP users to kickstart and enhance their change management processes, leading to improved business operations and greater employee satisfaction.

For SAP users, the opportunities through change management include a higher acceptance of change processes, innovative corporate culture, optimal communication and early containment of risks which allows for the achievement of transformation goals. The Corporate Business Solutions Change Consultants combine SAP knowledge with change management expertise to allow change activities that are focused and tailored to a SAP users’ transformation projects.

Oliver Dorsner, consulting director at Corporate Business Solutions, said: “The introduction of S/4HANA brings changes for the companies and their employees. It is important, to accompany the employees in the change on the one hand and on the other hand, to enable the employees to shape and go along with this change.”
