ERP Change Management A Complete Guide

You're under pressure. Another ERP initiative is lagging. Stakeholders are hesitant. Team resistance is rising. Budgets are tightening. You know the stakes - a failed ERP change can stall digital transformation for years, damage morale, and cost millions.

Meanwhile, others in your role are stepping into leadership, securing bigger budgets, and being recognised at board level. What’s their edge? They’ve mastered the human side of ERP change - aligning people, processes, and technology with precision. They don’t just implement systems, they lead transformation.

ERP Change Management A Complete Guide is your blueprint to go from overwhelmed project manager to trusted change architect in 30 days. This course delivers a systematic, field-tested methodology to plan, execute, and sustain ERP-driven change - complete with a board-ready change strategy, stakeholder adoption roadmap, and implementation playbook.

One recent learner, Priya M., Senior Project Lead at a multinational manufacturing firm, applied the course’s stakeholder influence framework during a global SAP rollout. Within four weeks, she turned a 40% resistance rate into 83% buy-in across departments - and secured a promotion to change programme head.

You don’t need another theoretical model. You need a battle-tested system that works in real organisations with real politics, budgets, and deadlines. This course gives you exactly that - a repeatable, results-driven approach used by top consulting firms.

No fluff. No filler. Just actionable insight you can deploy today to reduce risk, accelerate adoption, and position yourself as an indispensable asset.

Here’s how this course is structured to help you get there.
