Mastering Information Management and Prioritisation

Optimizing Communication in SAP ERP Projects

According to a McKinsey study, the average employee spends 19% of their workweek searching for information and another 14% on internal communication. This means that over one-third of the time is spent on finding information or dealing with ineffective communication channels, directly impacting productivity. In large-scale SAP ERP projects involving multiple teams, poor information management can quickly lead to confusion, inefficiencies, and missed deadlines.

How Clear Communication Can Transform Your ERP Implementation.

According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), 56% of all project failures are attributed to poor communication. This figure underscores the critical importance of clarity in communication, particularly in complex projects like SAP ERP implementations, where teams are diverse and project scope is vast. Miscommunication—whether due to ambiguous phrasing or unchecked assumptions—can derail timelines, expand budgets, and compromise project success.
