SAP S/4HANA deployments can stall or fail because of complexity, competing priorities, or a lack of alignment between business and IT. This makes it vital for every organization to understand how they should approach an SAP S/4HANA project from the start to provide the best possible opportunity for success. This includes understanding why large SAP S/4HANA projects can stall or lose momentum, how challenges can be avoided, and how leaders should recognize when it is time to pause and reset. Most important is having strategies that will help ensure business and IT teams are aligned during a complex, global transformation project.

Roche experienced these challenges when the company found that progress in their own SAP S/4HANA project had been minimal after the first year. Instead of pushing ahead, the leadership team paused, evaluated, and restarted with a new strategy powered by SAFe® practices. The change transformed a stalled project into a steady delivery across 95 countries and 260 affiliates, making it one of the largest and most successful SAP S/4HANA transitions worldwide.
