Welcome & Transformation During a Global Pandemic: Lessons learned from Fisheries and Oceans Canada

In January 2020, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) began its S/4HANA transformation journey to revolutionize their finance function. With an ambitious timeline and solution scope, EY and IBM teamed up to transform DFO's financial business processes, enhance decision making through advanced analytics, and modernize its decision support and planning, budgeting and forecasting functions, all while keeping DFO’s employees and Canadian citizens at the centre of the design and implementation. Then COVID-19 hit. How did the team pivot to a fully remote delivery model while remaining on-time and on-budget? Please join to hear lessons learned in delivering an S/4HANA-enabled business transformation during a global pandemic, including:

-Defining DFO’s business objectives when embarking on their transformation journey
-How virtual working and digitization have created new ways of delivering programs 
-The importance of a collaborative and agile mindset
