6 Change Challenges

Visibility drops. Alignment frays. Saturation builds. Most teams only name these problems after they have already stalled the programme.

In this 60-minute session, Limelight's Neil How and Jayne Mather walk through six change challenges that repeatedly derail S/4HANA programmes — and the practical steps that prevent each one from becoming a programme-level risk.

 

What you will learn

  • Why change impact tracking in silos leaves leaders blind until it is too late

  • How misalignment between IT and business teams compounds into missed decisions and slower delivery

  • What change saturation looks like before it becomes visible — and how to manage capacity intelligently

  • Why measuring attendance and defects tells you nothing about whether people are ready

  • How disconnected tools fragment the change picture and what a connected view actually looks like

  • Why communication and training alone do not embed change — and what does

 

About this session

Jayne Mather leads Limelight's change practice and has worked on some of the UK's most complex S/4HANA transformations. Neil How is Limelight's founder and the author of RunFast — the bestselling guide to accelerating transformation programmes. Together they bring both the change management depth and the programme leadership perspective that most change webinars lack.

This is a practical session, not a theoretical one. Every challenge covered comes from programmes Limelight has worked on directly.
