WAFE Service
APS transformations succeed or fail on the human side — we guide your organization through the change, driving adoption and protecting your investment.
The Challenge
Effective change management is often overlooked in Advanced Planning System (APS) transformations. Ignoring the human aspects of change leads to low user adoption, operational disruptions, and diminished returns on your APS investment.
According to research by McKinsey & Company, around 70% of complex, large-scale change programs fail to achieve their objectives, primarily due to employee resistance and lack of management support.

Context
APS transformations involve significant changes to processes, technology, and organizational roles. In the context of supply chain planning, this is particularly critical because APS tools fundamentally alter how employees perform their daily tasks and can be complex.
Without proper change management, the full benefits of an APS transformation are unlikely to be achieved and organizations may face challenges such as low user adoption and operational disruptions.
Why It Matters
Why should you care?
Resistance to new processes and tools prevents the organization from fully leveraging system benefits.
Confusion and pushback from stakeholders slow implementation, increasing expenses.
Inadequate training and communication lead to errors and inefficiencies in day-to-day operations.
Limited engagement with the new system curtails expected performance gains and financial returns.
