25.01.2022 Hello friends, I hope you are well! I am working on a book and making tremendous progress! Stay tuned for the next update. http://spsingh.me/2020/05/27/i-am-writing-a-book/

23.01.2022 This book is going to be a game changer!

21.01.2022 Good consulting resources are rare and expensive. ERP Partners/Vendors are always in dilemma whether to hire additional resources or not. It is chicken and egg situation. Whether to hire when there is a new project or hire first otherwise there may not be a new project. Secondly, resource management is a juggling act. Sometimes vendors have too many resources and not much work other times consulting resources are working long hours to meet client needs.

19.01.2022 Internet is full of articles explaining reasons of change resistance. Various books are written on this topic. Change Managers Handbook extensively covers this topic is detail. However, what is the root cause of resistance to change? Why in context to organisational change, employees and managers prefers status quo instead embracing the change? I have tried to understand this and various reasons allude to one cause. [ 67 more words ] http://spsingh.me/2018//15/root-cause-of-change-resistance/

18.01.2022 Prospect needs solid estimate before making decision on investment. Call it a proposal, quote or Statement of work. Often we (vendors) sit on the fence, throwing numbers with bundle of disclaimers/assumptions. It does not help us nor the prospect. Instead, step in, roll your sleeves and scope it. Learn about the business, read existing documentation, meet client team, get right people from your team involved in the process.

18.01.2022 ERP/COTS projects often starts with a lot of enthusiasm, planning and stage drama. Sponsors and Project managers explains the importance of the project. How this project is a game changer? How this project is different from other projects? You know what I mean.... However, projects often close with meek email, thanking everyone. One should not underestimate importance of closing the projects with elegance. [ 401 more words ] http://spsingh.me//project-closure-checklist-close-projec/

15.01.2022 Do you agree that COTS/ERP implementations makes your business mediocre at best? One of the main value propositions of the packaged software (COTS/ERP) is relatively quicker implementation. Business processes are standardised. Your business receives so called 'best practice' implementation. But is it a good thing? The so called 'best practice' is really a best practice? If every other business (like yours) is implementing so called 'best practice' then how it can be the 'best'? [ 195 more words ] http://spsingh.me//14/cots-erp-bringing-mediocrity-at-best/

15.01.2022 Aged Care Capability Reference Model http://spsingh.me//19/aged-care-capability-reference-model/

15.01.2022 User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is the critical phase of any ERP implementation. Project success highly relies on well planned execution of UAT. Business key users/ subject matter experts form the core project team. Typically, the core project team execute planned test cases after training by ERP consultants. As a project leader/sponsor, this is the time when you expect early indication of change resistance. [ 594 more words ] http://spsingh.me//why-uat-always-takes-more-time-and-bud/

14.01.2022 How often do we define change before we start managing it? This is one of the main problems in change management arena. We attempt to manage the undefined. Further, change operates at different levels. The attributes at each level are different. Therefore, strategies and focus to implement change must be different as well. In the following example, I have attempted to demonstrate this with help of examples: [ 270 more words ] http://spsingh.me//levels-of-change-must-understand-this-/

12.01.2022 Scrum is like a religion. Religion has values and rituals. Rituals support values. Without values, rituals are meaningless. Scrum sucks because we follow its rituals (Daily Scrum, Sprint Reviews etc.) without living the values (Focus, Courage, Openness, Commitment and Respect) and the three pillars of Scum (Transparency, Inspections and Adaptation). If the basic scrum values are not ingrained in our organisation's DNA then we are merely following Scrum rituals like well-trained dogs.

11.01.2022 We often choose one way over that other. There are thousands of blog posts, books that suggests choosing one implementation method/framework over the other. I believe each implementation method/framework has its strengths. The value is in evaluating which method suits the best for a given task, stakeholders, and environment? Why can't we apply Agile, Waterfall and Critical Chain together in a given ERP project? [ 159 more words ] http://spsingh.me//agile-vs-waterfall-vs-critical-chain-w/

10.01.2022 Why we need a Business Case? http://spsingh.me/2020/07/01/why-we-need-a-business-case/

07.01.2022 As a Project Sponsor, you are responsible for project governance. You ensure that the project is steering in right direction. You are ultimately responsible for the business case and success of the project. Typically, more than one vendors, subcontractors, consultants are involved in ERP implementations. These resources may not have worked together before. There are strong changes that they following different project methodology/approach.

06.01.2022 Our body and business are not much different. Both are the machines that receive input and their coordinated effort produces an output. Learning - Like a healthy body, healthy business must learn from experimentation, analytics, and retrospectives. Strength - Like every individual has natural strengths. The key is to be aware of the strengths. Similarly, business must understand its strengths in core areas. [ 124 more words ] http://spsingh.me/2018/09/04/body-and-business/

06.01.2022 What Is The Big Picture? http://spsingh.me/2020/06/12/what-is-the-big-picture/

06.01.2022 While our focus has always been to optimise limited resources, what do think is the biggest waste? Which resources are been most under-utilised? Well, I think, it is you and I! It is humans and human potential. Here are my thoughts on this: Division of Labour: Does division of labour makes sense in our organisations. For IT, it sounds very depressing that people with Job title - Testers/ QA Analysts, will only test software all day every day.

Then I ask, How you can ensure finishing critical path tasks on time? It depends on finding and eliminating bottleneck (constraint) for the critical path tasks. Then I ask, How can we eliminate bottlenecks? Here are the common reasons causing bottlenecks in projects: [ 534 more words ] http://spsingh.me//13-reasons-causing-projects-bottlenecks/

05.01.2022 Projects slip due to various reasons. Ultimately, it affects who is paying for the project. Yes, the Project Sponsor, Client and the buyer. Therefore, next time be very cautious about the project slippage. Ask right questions and challenge the project team for all the good reasons. So, how delay in the delivery can affect you?

03.01.2022 Are you looking for a new ERP Implementation partner? Well, it is important to know about each other (very well) before the big commitment (signing the contract). Successful ERP implementations are dependent on performing client and vendor teams. They must work as a one team to meet project objectives. As a project sponsor, make sure that your organisation and prospective implementation partner are made for each other. 290 more words [ 288 more words ] http://spsingh.me//importance-of-dating-with-implementati/

01.01.2022 ERPs are designed to eliminate waste and cut unnecessary cost. In my experience business rarely utilise full potential of an ERP. This is mainly because, after the implementation, ERP it is left alone. ERP has a key role to play in business improvement. Therefore, continuously improve use of ERP in your business. As a starting point consider following areas for continuous improvement: [ 510 more words ] http://spsingh.me//where-to-start-erp-continuous-improvem/
