Signs of bad and good SAP Projects –?DO NOT blame people for they right mentality!?Lidl case?– the aftermath of parts no. 11 and 12 New release of Handelsblatt?reveals details and very accurate digest of Lidl failure and I can see my intuition was right!?(https://lnkd.in/ePig3u3) Now I would recall the part no. 12?(https://lnkd.in/e24V8nv): 1. after first important successes they went wrong pattern of “transformation without people”; 2. then apparently under huge resistance they turned into another very wrong pattern of “forsaken transformation” trying to?recreate the legacy. I agree with almost?everything here wit an exception of?this sentence: “[but this is how we always do it] mentality at Lidl” - this is common and every SI should predict it and be ready to deal with it! So I would strongly disagree to put any?blame on people there as this kind of mentality is common and is a kind of very right showing the addiction to what is the core?of successful business so far. This is management role to talk with people and change their mind.? #digitaltransformation?#projectmanagement?#sap?#changemanagement?#resistance

6 年So.....this is a failure of leadership. People will revert to “how we’ve always done it” if there is a lack of clear new direction or if how they are being measured and rewarded seems disconnected from the new direction. If the reason for the failure of an ERP deployment is a failure to transform the business with respect to processes, organisation, ownership and responsibilities, performance measurement & culture, then that’s a failure of leadership....and the buck stops at the top.
