WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:0 1 00:04.260 --> 00:12.270 Mason, Kayla: Hi, my name is Kayla Mason and I focus on helping our clients navigate the complex nature of supply chain digital transformations 2 00:12.960 --> 00:21.840 Mason, Kayla: I'm going to talk to you about six proven pillars of success, my teams and I have applied throughout our experience with Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud. 3 00:22.770 --> 00:33.810 Mason, Kayla: THESE PILLARS ARE DEFINITELY applicable to any kind of transformation your organization may be going through already or in the planning stages as you're debating whether or not to embark on this journey. 4 00:35.340 --> 00:47.550 Mason, Kayla: We'll begin with the first pillar, which may seem obvious, but is no less important. Clearly defined governance structure for your transformation team is integral to a project's success. 5 00:48.330 --> 00:54.570 Mason, Kayla: Along with this comes meeting cadences and ensuring that you have the right decision makers in the right meetings. 6 00:54.840 --> 01:07.410 Mason, Kayla: And in the best roles. For example, when you're going through requirements gathering workshop. It's important that you have the decision makers in the room, or else it can lead to additional meetings and additional churn down the line. 7 01:08.580 --> 01:17.880 Mason, Kayla: transformations are large and complex in nature and always involve a large number of people which without clear organization and structure can lead to chaos. 8 01:19.200 --> 01:28.050 Mason, Kayla: For the second pillar, one of the benefits and moving forward with an Oracle Cloud solution is the number of resources Oracle provides to transformation teams. 9 01:28.860 --> 01:36.570 Mason, Kayla: They have a dedicated support group to help quickly resolve issues and bugs and also have quick reference guides for every module. 10 01:37.410 --> 01:48.870 Mason, Kayla: Oracle also has a robust product development team, which has an idea or enhancement intake process where you can submit ideas to the team directly and continually help improve the products. 11 01:50.190 --> 01:59.010 Mason, Kayla: So often the third pillar of data management can be an afterthought during transformations. When it absolutely needs to be an upfront consideration. 12 01:59.850 --> 02:11.040 Mason, Kayla: Data cleansing always takes longer than expected. So start these activities as early as possible. You certainly don't want messy data in your brand new system, causing issues down the road. 13 02:12.510 --> 02:26.370 Mason, Kayla: Another pillar of success that we've applied is automating the testing process using RPA bots. This will lead to increased efficiency faster issue resolution and ultimately save costs and time. 14 02:27.960 --> 02:40.350 Mason, Kayla: The fifth pillar is change management. These activities are crucial to the success of a large scale transformation and also need to be a consideration upfront, rather than down the line. 15 02:41.100 --> 02:48.660 Mason, Kayla: Make sure Oracle training resources are leveraged and that you communicate clearly what will change and for who. 16 02:50.220 --> 03:07.260 Mason, Kayla: Finally embarking on this massive of a transformation can be extremely daunting. Luckily, there are transformation partners like Deloitte, that you can team up with who have extensive experience with implementing this kind of solution for clients across industries. 17 03:08.550 --> 03:15.900 Mason, Kayla: I hope that these pillars of success were helpful and will be useful when thinking through your organization's digital supply chain transformation. 18 03:16.590 --> 03:25.950 Mason, Kayla: Deloitte has key success strategies like the ones from this brief session plus artifacts and accelerators that will make moving to the cloud that much easier for you. 19 03:26.850 --> 03:34.530 Mason, Kayla: THESE PILLARS made a meaningful difference and help our clients be successful in their digital transformation, and they can help you too.
