Here's how you can influence decision-making processes with effective communication as an ERP professional.

In my experience, joining online communities is one of the most effective ways to expand your professional network. a) By participating in specialised forums, you can exchange knowledge and gain insights directly from other professionals in your field. b) For example, being active in LinkedIn groups can lead to invitations to webinars, where you can meet new contacts and potential collaborators. c) In one of these communities, I met a business partner with whom I subsequently started a successful project.

You need to present clear, data-driven insights with visual aids to make complex information accessible. You can highlight the benefits of proposed solutions, using case studies to build credibility. Make sure to manage meetings effectively by preparing thoroughly, engaging participants and providing clear follow-ups. Building trust is very important and it can be built through consistent communication, transparency and active listening. You should use collaboration tools to facilitate efficient communication and for maintaining thorough documentation for transparency and accountability.

Para que se possa melhorar e ter mais resultados assertivos é só mudar um paradigma que persiste desde sempre: as mudan?as em processos n?o podem vir apenas do alto escal?o e sim dos agentes da ponta produtiva,s?o estes que sabem os gargalos e os problemas do dia dia merecem ser mais ouvidos.

An ERP professional has the privilege to acquire some knowledge, skills and experience in every function of the enterprise. With effective communication skills, it is easier to interact with diverse professionals about their domains of expertise and influence their decision making. By explaining how to personalize marketing, sales and after-sales services with communications mining of customer interactions via social media, chat, email and other channels, a CEO or sales manager can be motivated to acquire a Customer Relationship Management system. Finance leaders can be persuaded to have a Financial Report Writer module for financial reports customized according to all their specific analysis requirements. This is ERP marketing and selling.

Compreender as necessidades, preferências e nível de conhecimento dos stakeholders permite adaptar a comunica??o de forma mais eficaz. Ao conhecer o público, é possível ajustar a linguagem, os exemplos e os argumentos para garantir que a mensagem seja compreendida e bem recebida. Essa abordagem direcionada n?o apenas facilita a comunica??o, mas também aumenta a probabilidade de aceita??o e ades?o às decis?es relacionadas ao ERP.

Ao comunicar informa??es técnicas, é importante traduzi-las em termos compreensíveis para os stakeholders, evitando jarg?es desnecessários e utilizando exemplos claros e relevantes. Ao simplificar a complexidade, é possível facilitar o entendimento e promover uma tomada de decis?o mais ágil e eficaz, aumentando a confian?a e o engajamento dos envolvidos no processo de implementa??o ou atualiza??o do sistema ERP.

ERP software simplifies a lot of work; however, given the vast modules within the system, traditional ERPs have very unfriendly UIs, and the workflows are not simple to comprehend. Add to this how vendors complicate the functionalities with jargon. What really helps is understanding the client's processes, say for a particular role, and recreating the process/workflow in the ERP. This is what we call the "Day-in-a-Life-of" approach and demonstrates how the ERP simplifies the workflow and processes. We, at Aarav Solutions, have helped several customers with their ERP journey with Odoo, an open-source ERP, and our customers are lovin' it.

In my experience ERP professionals have to speak different business languages, since they are interact with different business functions so they have to understand different jargons used by different departments such as finance, logistics, procurement and so on. When interacting with these departments leaders professionals had to simplify ERP terms and explain it in their own language to avoid ambiguity that lead to complexity in the project during execution.

Simplifying our language is so much heart and center for us in ERP, that I can not agree more to this point. But simplification requires true and deep understanding. Communicating "simple" is generally harder than "complex" or "complicated". So lets not just repeat the language of the vendor, but really understand what we would like to do and accomplish - that is key to communicate in an understandable way

5 years of experience in school ERP systems, I specialize in implementing and customizing solutions to streamline educational administration. My work includes system configuration, data migration, and training for teachers, Admin, Accounts and Management.

Ao apresentar informa??es complexas, gráficos, tabelas e dashboards podem ser poderosas ferramentas para transmitir mensagens de forma impactante e acessível. Utilizar visualiza??es adequadas ajuda a destacar tendências, padr?es e insights importantes, facilitando a compreens?o e a análise dos dados pelos decisores. Dessa forma, a comunica??o eficaz por meio de visualiza??es de dados pode contribuir significativamente para uma tomada de decis?o informada e orientada por evidências no contexto do ERP.

Thats why SAP years ago has made sure with SAP S/4HANA that any kind of operational data that is produced in the system can be quickly visualized by the user at the point of usage. Let it be the business user who understands and works with the data.

I find a little redundant this point to the previous one, so I will share the same: There is a reason why Lean understandable visual flow diagrams are used to summarize processes: they do work to validate your case. I would also present 2 options: actual state noting wastes and future state with the ideal process. For people resisting change is easier to accept the challenge if they have a clear image of how things would improve: so yo have to hook them up with what's in it for me?

Facilitar reuni?es e workshops colaborativos permite que as equipes compartilhem conhecimentos, experiências e perspectivas, enriquecendo assim as discuss?es e promovendo um entendimento comum. Além disso, ao incentivar um ambiente de trabalho colaborativo, os profissionais de ERP podem garantir que todas as vozes sejam ouvidas, resultando em decis?es mais bem informadas e alinhadas com os objetivos organizacionais. Essa abordagem colaborativa n?o apenas fortalece os processos de tomada de decis?o, mas também aumenta o engajamento e a motiva??o das equipes, impulsionando assim o sucesso dos projetos de ERP.

ERP projects can be complex, and success hinges on teamwork! But did you know a siloed approach can cost companies up to 30% more? Here's where you, the ERP champion, come in – fostering collaboration is your secret weapon. Imagine ERP as a kitchen – you wouldn't cook a five-star meal with everyone working alone! Encourage open communication and feedback from all departments, like chefs sharing their expertise. This collaborative approach creates a "symphony of solutions," incorporating diverse perspectives to make informed decisions. When everyone feels heard and involved, trust soars, and the project becomes a recipe for success.

Actually I see fostering collaboration is one of the main activities of ERP professionals by fostering collaboration they break business silos and create cross functional team work on project since main benefits of ERP's is to foster collaboration between functional departments and streamline business processes.

We have used workshops or trainings, everyone using the system at the same time, is very helpful to hear problems people are used to deal with on a daily basis and then show them how with this ERP system will help them and many times eliminate these problems for good. Key is listen and provide solutions.

Isso envolve transmitir informa??es de forma clara e concisa, destacando os benefícios e as consequências das decis?es propostas. Além disso, é importante estabelecer prazos claros e responsabilidades definidas para garantir que as decis?es sejam implementadas de maneira oportuna e eficiente. Ao manter uma comunica??o aberta e transparente, os profissionais de ERP podem motivar as partes interessadas a agir de acordo com as decis?es tomadas, impulsionando assim o progresso e o sucesso dos projetos.

In ERP project professionals find the current operating models and processes which is known as AS-IS, as an ERP professional you have to drive actions to move to targeted business processes TO-BE state. To reach to TO-BE state you work on different actions such as collecting business requirements Functional and Technical, realizing requirements into ERP system, train end users, etc.. All those activities led by ERP team to deliver the required solutions, so drive actions is integral part of ERP professional day to day activities.

Recientemente tuve la oportunidad de leer un poco sobre la regla 10-20-30. Y suele suceder que en nuestro día a día estamos frente a reuniones donde presentamos ideas, proyectos, conocimientos, alimentamos vínculos, dise?amos conceptos de marcas, en fin, trabajamos la información con poca practicidad. A veces son charlas extensas que suelen perder el foco inicial. Si nos paseáramos por esta regla, nuestra participación sería asertiva : 10 diapositivas. Info relevante / aportar valor. 20 minutos de límite de la presentación. 30 Tama?o de fuente. EL texto no debe ser más convincente que tus argumentos. Hacé que tu participación tenga una escucha activa, que tus mensajes se alojen en tu audiencia y que logres vender las ideas que dise?aste.

Clarity in communication, collaboration, inclusion of all stakeholders - all very important but one thing comes on top: ERP-projects can only be sustainably successful if they use what has been offered by the vendor by default. Extensive customizing, or even custom development, is a threat both to length and cost of the project, but as well to the long-term cost of maintaining the solution. Use the tools SAP provides to follow the Clean-Core Approach for SAP S/4HANA and the project is more likely to succeed while the TCO of running the system will be positively impacted.
