As previously shared, we are embarking on a journey to transform our current ERP system (SAP). The current ERP system is outdated, overly complex, and doesn\u2019t meet our business\u2019s growing needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

To support our growth and future success, we need a new ERP system that will:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

  1. Enable our strategy<\/li>\n
  2. Improve decision making<\/li>\n
  3. Protect our reputation<\/li>\n
  4. Reduce our risks<\/li>\n
  5. Improve our efficiencies<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>

    While a dedicated project team and 130 key stakeholders are working to evaluate and identify the best ERP solution for our business, our ERP Change Team has focused on understanding you - the end users - and what you need for a successful transition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Imagine walking into a warm, welcoming space filled with the smell of fresh coffee and cake. A space you've never seen before - open, relaxing, inviting. You're handed a booklet. You see your favourite coloured pen and are invited to write or doodle what comes to mind when you hear, \"What is ERP?\"<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s exactly what we created with the ERP Caf\u00e9s. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    We launched the ERP Caf\u00e9s in March 2025. The caf\u00e9s were inspired by a facilitation technique called World Caf\u00e9 Sessions. This approach allowed for open, informal discussions in a relaxed setting - where people could talk, doodle, reflect, and co-create the future of ERP in a space that felt different from the usual boardroom.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

    The caf\u00e9s kicked off at the conneXXion, followed by Leeuwpan, Matla, and Belfast. These creative focus groups gave everyone the chance to share ideas, voice their needs, and shape the ERP journey from the ground up.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
