Why Does Size make a difference in ERP Change Management?
Experts routinely discuss the need for good change management in achieving ERP adoption success with our clients. While the concepts and components of a strong Business Change Management technique are universal, the size and configuration of the organization may have a significant impact on attitudes and responses to innovation.
A competent Change Manager must customize their strategy to
the company's size, scope, and nature. When considering change management in organizations
of various sizes, consider the following factors:
Transition
in big organizations may be compared to navigating a battleship.

sometimes increased when a big workforce is implicated Complex organizational

challenging. The "present state" may have various variants,
complicating the identification of change consequences on people and systems. Providing
communications and training to a big audience involves more time, effort, and
resources.

company transformation - "small" does not always imply
"easy"
Smaller organizations, although often having simpler
structures and being more agile, might exhibit greater resistance to change and
need more hand-holding, Small firms may be less acclimated to and open to the
norms and procedures imposed by standardized ERP processes. Employees
frequently have a stronger feeling of ownership and personal commitment to old
patterns of functioning. Change's effects are frequently felt more acutely in a
smaller, close-knit workforce.
Change
within the change in a multi-company setting
ERP installation teams in multi-company environments must
frequently deal with the complete change spectrum. Dynamics might differ
substantially between the Head Office and different businesses or divisions
within the company; between bigger and smaller organizations; between
established enterprises and recent acquisitions... Each member of the group
contributes their personality and politics, which frequently complicates the
Change Manager's task.
They emphasize the need of putting successful stakeholder
involvement at the heart of the project, as well as to adapt communications and
training to the size and characteristics of the company. If you are
implementing a new ERP solution across a group of companies, your Change
Manager should meet with each firm separately to understand and respond to
their distinct features within the context of the larger group.
