Adoption & Training

A system nobody uses is a failed project regardless of scope sign-off. We plan adoption from day one: stakeholder mapping, role-based curricula, champions inside each department, and a usage dashboard that shows whether behaviour actually changed.

Best fit
Runs alongside any implementation, or as a rescue engagement where a system is live but usage has stalled.

What’s included

Scope, stated before we start

Six work-streams that make up a standard engagement. Anything outside them is priced separately and named in the proposal — never absorbed quietly.

Stakeholder & impact mapping

Who loses a familiar spreadsheet, who gains scrutiny, who has to change a habit — mapped by role, with the resistance named honestly before it turns into an escalation.

Role-based curricula

Separate paths for finance, warehouse, sales, production and executives. Nobody sits through a demo of a module they will never open.

Champion network

Two to four champions per department, trained early and given a direct line to us during hypercare — the difference between questions answered in minutes and workarounds invented in silence.

Micro-learning library

Short task-level videos and one-page job aids recorded on your configuration and your data, hosted where people already work.

Adoption dashboard

Licence utilisation, feature usage, transactions per user and workaround detection, reported monthly against a target curve.

Reinforcement rhythm

Refresher sessions at 30, 60 and 90 days, an onboarding pack for new joiners, and an owner named for keeping it current.

Outcomes

What changes when this is done properly

These are the three differences clients describe six months after go-live — not feature claims.

  • Usage measured, not assumed
  • Champions who answer questions before we do
  • New joiners productive in their first week

Not sure this is the right service? Discover is a fixed-price, two-to-three week assessment that answers the question with evidence — and it is usable whether or not you appoint us. Start there instead →

Who it’s for

Industries where this comes up most

Each links to how the service is shaped for that sector — the requirements differ more than vendors admit.

Our approach

The same four phases, applied to this scope

Reused deliberately. A consistent method is what makes a fixed price honest and a date holdable.

01

Discover

Process mapping before software selection.

We walk the floor and the ledger. Two to three weeks of structured interviews and document tracing produce a current-state process map, a data-quality baseline, and a written list of the decisions your systems cannot currently answer.

02

Design

One target architecture, agreed on paper.

Chart of accounts, item and customer master rules, approval hierarchies, integration contracts and reporting model are designed together — not discovered during build. You sign off a blueprint, not a demo.

03

Deliver

Configure, migrate, test, train — in that order.

Iterative configuration with fortnightly conference-room pilots. Data migration runs three times before go-live: trial, dry run, and cutover, each reconciled to the closing trial balance. Users train on their own data.

04

Sustain

Hypercare, then measurable adoption.

Four to eight weeks of hypercare with named owners and a burn-down of issues. Then a governance rhythm: master-data stewardship, monthly close review, and a Power BI adoption dashboard that shows whether the system is actually being used.

FAQ

Questions we are asked before signing

Something not covered? Ask us directly →

Champion involvement starts at blueprint. End-user training runs two to three weeks before go-live on migrated data — early enough to build confidence, late enough that the configuration is stable.

Three things: training on their own data instead of a demo company, a visible removal of something they hate (a duplicate entry, a manual reconciliation), and a champion at their own desk. Mandates alone produce compliance, not adoption.

Yes — Urdu and English delivery for floor and warehouse teams, English for finance and management, with job aids produced in both where it helps.

Transactions per user per day, percentage of documents raised in-system versus outside it, licence utilisation, and the count of surviving shadow spreadsheets. All four go on one page, reviewed monthly.

Not a sales call. A working conversation with the person who would run the engagement, and a straight answer on scope, sequence and cost.
