Background Information
In 2009, GSK embarked on a business transformation programme, to simplify and standardise our business processes, system landscape and operating model. At the core of the programme is the implementation of a single instance SAP system. The global ERP programme is made up of two streams: The Enterprise Value Optimistion (EVO) Programme, which focuses on the commercial business and Manufacturing ERP Programme (MERP) focusing on the supply chain, including our manufacturing sites.
The EVO template is now live in 200 markets with over 80,000 end users so far, with the total number expected to be 100,000+.
From 2015, a stream of project iniatives has run in parallel with the global ERP deployment – delivering improvements and transformational change to live and in-flight markets.
Examples include a Buying Goods and Services improvement programme, introducing new mobilie mobile apps and better user interfaces; transforming our Finance processes to ensure a faster, better close; and a series of projects to further align the business to GSK’s committment to make it easier for our employees to do their day to day activities. The EVO program will continue this focus and enhance/build on the exiting sytem to make it easier for our employees to do their role and add value that will ultimately help our customers do more, feel better and live longer.
Change Management expertise is required to support the successful deployment of these global projects, to ensure minimal impact to employees upon Go Live, and to ensure appropriate business readiness and adoption of solutions.
