Step 1: Build the vision • Does the management want the organization to change ? • Where do we want to be in 5 years from now ? • WHO: The Management You – challenging the management Consultants – helping the you and the management
Step 2: Understand the vision • Share and discuss the vision – make it your mantra – make it known inside the company • Imagine the implementation of the vision • Start collecting proof points (measure) • Explore the world (PLM congresses, Social Media, Consultants, PLM vendors, IT trends) • WHO: Management / Middle management PLM champion(s) / Thought Leaders
Step 3: Understand the vision • Map the vision to reality: • Alignment / Efficiency / Quality • Time to market ? • Customer centric ? • Innovation ? • What are the relevant KPIs? • Decide on your type of PLM platform • WHO: Management / Middle management / IT PLM champion(s) / potential PLM implementation partners / vendors
Can you make the case ? • Step 1 to 3 are mandatory steps for success, but …. Now it is time for commitment ! • Will there be active executive sponsorship ? • Will there be a champion / project team ? Uncommitted
Step 4: Building the commitment – Do’s / Don’ts • Do’s : • Keep the vision all time in the picture • Small steps – give the organization time to adjust • Involve the users, but lead the change • Communicate and sell internal
Step 4: Building the commitment – Do’s / Don’ts • Don’t s: • Think PLM is an IT project • Think a PLM product feature is a solution • Believe customization is solving the change • Believe it is easy and in the cloud
Conclusions • Define your PLM focus area(s) • Build the vision and motivation • Realize PLM is change – create the enthusiasm • Measure before and after
