EA - User Enablement & Change Management​

Business Problem

Even the most robust EA solution can fail if end-users resist the new processes or do not fully understand how to leverage the platform, leading to low adoption, incomplete data, and minimal realized value.​​​

Pre-Conditions

• Organizational acknowledgment that change management is vital for successful EA adoption.​
• EA processes are defined clearly enough to train users effectively.​
• Basic readiness for cultural shifts in how technology decisions are made.​​​

Common Pitfalls

• Neglecting continuous enablement, resulting in steady decline of platform usage.​
• Failing to involve business users in the training design, making it too IT-focused.​
• Providing only one-time training with no follow-up or updates.​​​​​

• Walk: Role-specific enablement for rationalization tasks, highlighting how to input, review, and act on new cost/usage data.​​
