Developing a successful ERP strategy involves a thorough approach that includes alignment, stakeholder engagement and change management. 

In this second episode of Cherry Bekaert’s Digital Journeys podcast series around ERP rescue and recovery, Dan Mitzenmacher, Managing Director of Digital Advisory, reconvenes with Jim Holman, Director and Strategy & Operations Leader, to determine why an ERP strategy is crucial to align with your specific business needs.

In this episode, Dan and Jim break down the below topics and how they interconnect:

• Essential elements that should be included in the initial ERP strategy and how you can align it with growth objectives and business goals
• Effective change management and how it involves getting stakeholders involved and committed throughout the ERP implementation process, which can impact employees, processes, and the overall business
• How you can increase the likelihood of a successful ERP adoption by involving end-users in the change management process, which can be achieved by getting their approval and enhancing user acceptance

Stay tuned for part three of this series, where we will continue to guide you on your ERP rescue and recovery journey, and conclude with system integration and customization, as well as risk management.
