ITFM - User Enablement & Change Management​

We provide comprehensive change management—covering communications, training, and post-launch support—to ensure every role (finance, IT, leadership) knows why the new system matters and how to use it effectively. This includes role-based training materials, continuous updates on progress, and user feedback loops.​

Business Problem

Even a perfectly implemented ITFM system fails if end-users do not understand new processes or trust the data. Lack of training, communication, and change management leads to incomplete data entry, poor reporting accuracy, and low adoption.​​​

Pre-Conditions

• At least a partial implementation environment ready for hands-on training.​
• Organizational willingness to invest time in formal training and internal communications.​
• Some basic excitement or at least acceptance of the need for improved ITFM.​​​

Common Pitfalls

• Generic training: Failing to tailor sessions for finance analysts, budget owners, executives, etc.​
• Lack of sponsorship: Users see the new ITFM process as optional.​
• Treating change management as “one-and-done”: Not reinforcing new practices over time.​
• No follow-up: Users cannot easily report issues or get clarifications, so adoption drops.​​​​​

Value Journey

• Run: Specialized workshops on forecasting tools, scenario planning, analytics dashboards -> Cross-functional coaching: bridging finance & operational teams -> KPI tracking (e.g., forecast accuracy) to motivate continuous improvement​​
• Fly: Executive-level sessions to interpret ITFM data in strategic decisions -> Culture-building events emphasizing value-based financial discussions -> Ongoing innovation labs or summits to keep users engaged with new features​
