The Challenge

Despite an 800-person program and daily burn peaking at $1M, stakeholder engagement and ownership was limited and delivery was at risk.

• Large complex global program with 800 team members

• Insufficient business engagement and weak ownership of outcomes

• Schedule, quality, and cost pressures with $1M/day program burn

• Impacting 40,000+ users across the enterprise

• Needed to simplify processes and drive adoption of Oracle ERP

Inflective’s Role

Inflective co-led the program with Oracle, Deloitte, IT, and executive leadership across all workstreams from planning through go-live.

Key areas of focus included:

• Program leadership

• Process redesign and alignment

• Data readiness and migration

• Testing strategy and execution

• Change management and training

• Stakeholder engagement & accountability using ASSERT™

• Issue resolution and risk management

How ASSERT™ Was Applied
