• Help shape requirements for tools and applications that will enable the future planning model, including user needs, impacts and readiness considerations.
• Use activity analysis and other diagnostic information to establish current-state effort and highlight opportunities for improvement.
• Track risks, issues and dependencies across the workstream, escalating appropriately where delivery may be affected.
• Coordinate finance process inputs into a wider ERP-enabled transformation and help ensure agreed standards are reflected in solution design.
• Support the definition of consistent planning and performance KPIs, including data inputs, ownership and measurement approach.
• Coordinate change communications and stakeholder engagement to support adoption of new processes and ways of working.
