The Challenge

The large-scale SAP transformation was facing significant challenges: 

• Schedule delayed by more than 12 months

• Systems integrator released and CIO departure

• No clear “line of sight” to implementation due to complex dependencies

• Numerous subcontractors using various methods and tools

• Key business stakeholders and business leaders had lost confidence in the program

Inflective’s Role

Inflective was brought in to stabilize the program, rebuild confidence, and drive it to on-time delivery.

Key areas of focus included:

• Replanning and realignment

• De-risking data migration and testing

• Cutover planning and readiness

• Program leadership & governance

• Business stakeholder alignment

• ASSERT™ framework & software

• Accountability & issue resolution

• Readiness assessment & monitoring

How ASSERT™ Was Applied

We applied the ASSERT™ framework to drive accountability, align stakeholders, and build confidence across the program.

• Defined future-state readiness criteria and success measures

• Assessed gaps and prioritized actions with business stakeholders

• Provided visibility into risks, issues, and state of readiness

• Brought stakeholders “on the same page” and restored confidence

The Result

The program was delivered on-time and stabilized at least four months earlier than prior trajectory. 

Delivered on time and stabilized early
