Resistance to change isnโ€™t just an obstacle,
itโ€™s the ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต reason ERP transformations struggle to deliver results.

Employees arenโ€™t just rejecting a new system
โ†ช๏ธtheyโ€™re reacting to uncertainty, fear of job changes, and frustration over disrupted ways of working.

I have found that this can show itself in a number of ways, but all boil down to the same problem to be resolved –
You’ve invested significant effort and resources in new solutions, but user buy-in remains a challenge, sometimes even becoming a blocker to success!

If resistance isnโ€™t addressed early, it leads to
โ†ช๏ธcomplaints, disengagement, and poor system adoption …
turning what should be a game-changing investment into an expensive headache.
