Leading Change, Building Trust
Achieving Business Outcomes & Improving the Employee Experience
During a CMiC Implementation
Project Snapshot
Davie, FL - A leading Florida-based general contractor faced the daunting task of implementing CMiC after a previously failed ERP implementation left them grappling with inefficiencies, frustration, and lost time and money. Recognizing the critical need for a successful organizational change, they sought our expertise in change communication, change leadership, and CMiC system training to maximize adoption and minimize resistance.
Our Tailored Approach
Integrating Lessons Learned
All was not lost with their previous attempt at an ERP implementation; valuable lessons were learned, and we aimed to put those to good use. We tailored our approach to overcome historical roadblocks effectively.
Communication Strategy
We developed a robust communication strategy, focusing on transparency and clarity to keep employees informed and engaged throughout the implementation process. By drafting clear and concise communications tailored to specific audiences, we ensured employees understood the benefits of CMiC and how it would positively impact their day-to-day operations.
Training & Support
Recognizing the importance of equipping employees with the necessary skills to navigate CMiC, we provided Super-User and Train-the-Trainer trainings. From training materials to hands-on classes, we built employees’ confidence in the system.
Change Leadership Workshop
We facilitated a Change Leadership Workshop, featuring the DiSC Work of Leaders® from Wiley to empower leaders with the tools and strategies needed to drive successful change. This workshop fostered a culture of openness, collaboration, and empowerment, leading to increased buy-in and support for the CMiC implementation.
