Key Lessons Learned
1. Business Partner Support: – Be very explicit about expectations for input into design and go-live support – Dedicated Key User for onsite issue resolution
2. Stakeholder Involvement in Design: – Change management: go directly to end users to establish awareness – Process design: ensure adequate end-user input to design and review of new process
and system
3. Training: – Mandatory awareness training on process change in A/P, context in the business setting
and systems environment, and the tools to support – Mandatory classroom training for Key Users, high/med impact end users – Track training participation and retention – Get end user feedback on training materials prior to go-live
4. Testing: – Focus testing on the most complex scenarios – Test a broader range of situations and volume to get an accurate picture of potential
issues – Despite three test cycles and end-to-end regression analyses, not all interdependencies
were identified
5. Cutover: – Prioritize complex issues in legacy system clean-up – Confirm all contingent master data elements are active, as expected – ReadSoft tool under-delivered on reporting capabilities
6. Vendor Readiness: – Prioritize key/critical vendors against business disruption risk – Work closely with Procurement for supplier change readiness & impact assessment
