Frequently Asked Questions

Why does AI need change management?

AI can affect processes, roles and decision-making. Change management helps clarify how the technology will be used, who is accountable, what capabilities people need and how adoption will be supported.

What does business readiness mean?

Business readiness is about understanding whether the organisation is genuinely prepared to operate the change. This includes people, processes, training, leadership, support arrangements and the capacity to adopt new ways of working.

How should leaders manage resistance to change?

Start by understanding what is behind the resistance. Concerns may highlight unclear decisions, capability gaps, workload pressures or genuine delivery risks. Use that insight to decide what needs clarification, support or action.

Why is stakeholder engagement important?

Stakeholder engagement helps leaders understand impact, identify risks and make better-informed decisions. Starting early creates time to act on what you learn rather than discovering issues close to go-live.

What are change management best practices?

They are practical ways of preparing, delivering and embedding organisational change. They typically include clear leadership, stakeholder engagement, communication, business readiness, training, governance and adoption measurement.

How does Nine Feet Tall support ERP programmes?

We support organisations across ERP planning, selection, implementation, programme health and optimisation. Our consultants combine ERP expertise with practical change management to help organisations deliver successful technology programmes that create lasting business value.

When should ERP change management begin?

The earlier, the better. Change management should begin during the planning phase so organisations can assess readiness, engage stakeholders and build support before implementation starts.

Why is ERP change management important?

Even the best ERP system will not deliver value if people do not use it effectively. Change management helps employees understand the reasons for change, builds confidence in new processes and increases adoption across the organisation.

What is ERP change management?

ERP change management is the process of helping people prepare for, adopt and sustain new ways of working during an ERP implementation. It includes communication, leadership support, stakeholder engagement, training and user adoption.

Can you support AI transformation programmes?

Yes. We help organisations prepare for AI adoption by assessing readiness, supporting organisational change, engaging stakeholders and ensuring new technologies are introduced in a way that creates genuine business value.

How do you measure digital readiness?

Digital readiness considers factors including leadership alignment, organisational culture, business processes, technology capability, governance and employee preparedness. Assessing these areas before implementation helps reduce risk and improve outcomes.

Why is change management important during ERP implementation?

ERP projects often introduce significant changes to processes and responsibilities. Effective change management helps employees understand the reasons for change, builds confidence in new systems and increases adoption across the organisation.

What is change management in digital transformation?

Change management helps organisations prepare people for new ways of working during digital transformation. It focuses on leadership, communication, engagement, training and adoption so that new technology delivers the expected business benefits.

How is Business Readiness different to Change Management?

Business readiness focuses on the organisation’s overall preparedness, ensuring systems, processes, and people are ready to adopt the change. Change management focuses on managing how people individually and collectively embrace and sustain the change, helping to minimise resistance and encourage adoption.

Why do cultural changes sometimes fail?

Cultural change often fails when organisations rely on a top-down approach, focus on isolated issues or do not involve employees. Lasting change requires preparation, leadership support and genuine engagement across the organisation.

Why is organisational culture so difficult to change?

Culture is shaped by behaviours, rituals, attitudes and unwritten rules. Because these are deeply embedded, meaningful cultural change must be planned and reinforced over time.

What is the role of leadership in Change Management?

Leadership should be active supporters and take ownership of how changes associated with the system will land in their areas of control. They should role model changes and communicate the overarching vision to their teams and most importantly they should hold the line when bumps in the road appear!

What is a Change Management Process?

Simply put, a change management process are the steps and associated tools and methods used to encourage someone to think, feel or do something differently to what they do currently.
