The book is now generally available!
Leading the organizational change that accompanies your SAP implementation is like driving across new territory. There may be a multitude of maps and travel guides with interesting stories, but they will not get you to your destination. If you want to get there, you will need to get in the car and start the engine. Weather conditions may require you to slow down and accidents may occur along your path. More often than not, your driving skills, experience, and sense of improvisation will determine how you get across safely. The same goes for SAP programs: the implementation matters. Managing organizational change means harmonizing the interaction between the hard stuff and the soft stuff in the context of your organization.
How does this book address all the facets of organizational change and at the same time deliver practical advice? We found the answer by taking a step back and looking below the surface at the fundaments of human behavior: emotions and perceptions. We found the patterns to codify, organize, and demystify the organizational change agenda, and we linked them to the program management approach and the chronology of an SAP implementation. To keep an overview, we linked some old and new concepts to provide diagnostics or “radars”. That is how we translated the patterns we found into concrete actions at each stage of the program.
