Achieving the Impossible

What SAP Professionals Can Learn from DeepSeek

When DeepSeek launched its breakthrough AI model, it sent shockwaves through the tech industry. A small, scrappy startup managed to dethrone giants like OpenAI, achieving the same performance at a fraction of the cost. What made DeepSeek so disruptive wasn’t just the technology—it was the radical approach: focusing on what mattered most and cutting out everything else. Their achievement raised a vital question: Do we overestimate the importance of size, resources, and complexity in achieving success?

Structured Documentation and Change Management

A Critical Component of SAP ERP Success

According to a report by Prosci, 70% of projects fail due to poor change management, and a study by PMI found that lack of proper documentation is one of the top reasons for project delays. In the context of SAP ERP implementations, structured documentation and effective change management are essential for ensuring project success and reducing the risks of rework and misalignment.

Team Dynamics and Collaborative Communication

Enhancing Success in SAP ERP Implementations

According to a study by Deloitte, 73% of executives consider effective team dynamics and collaboration critical for project success, yet 39% of employees feel that their organisation does not foster a collaborative work environment. In complex projects like SAP ERP implementations, ineffective collaboration can significantly impede progress and lead to costly errors.

Role and Responsibility Clarity

The Key to Streamlining SAP ERP Implementations

A report by the Harvard Business Review found that 75% of cross-functional teams are dysfunctional, failing at least three out of five key criteria, including alignment on roles and responsibilities. Another study by Gallup highlighted that only about 50% of employees know what is expected of them at work. In large-scale projects like SAP ERP implementations, this lack of clarity can lead to missed deadlines, duplicative work, and increased friction among team members.

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.

Avoiding Ambiguity and Assumptions

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.
