Patrick McClain -
Executive Director HR Shared Services,
University of California – San Francisco
Now, in the golden era of technology, many institutions look at their ERP and realize they need a change if they are to adapt and survive in the digital world. This change costs thousands, is an extensive team effort across multiple functions and areas, and doesn’t come with a roadmap. Until now. Join us as we discuss:
- The pitfalls of large-scale transitions and how to avoid them.
- The Key Differentiators that must be considered when evaluating implementation.
- Best change management practices to ensure a smoother transition.
