Organisational Change Management (OCM) is a critical component of many successful ERP projects. Despite this, the term Change Management is one which is not well understood by many ERP practitioners or by most ERP users. There is often a general sense that it covers the softer, people-related issues that arise during ERP implementation projects and that as a result, OCM itself is an ill-defined and woolly concept.
This paper sets out to dispel this view by defining OCM in ERP projects very clearly in terms of strategy, constituent work streams and implementation tasks.

Jobs are evaluated based on the level of each factor and their balance or "profile". The Hay Method provides a standardized scale to measure differences between jobs.

In a few short years, social technologies have given social interactions the speed and scale of the Internet. Whether discussing consumer products or organizing political movements, people around the world constantly use social-media platforms to seek and share information. Companies use them to reach consumers in new ways too; by tapping into these conversations, organizations can generate richer insights and create precisely targeted messages and offers.
While 72 percent of companies use social technologies in some way, very few are anywhere near to achieving the full potential benefit. In fact, the most powerful applications of social technologies in the global economy are largely untapped. Companies will go on developing ways to reach consumers through social technologies and gathering insights for product development, marketing, and customer service. Yet the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) finds that twice as much potential value lies in using social tools to enhance communications, knowledge sharing, and collaboration within and across enterprises. MGI’s estimates suggest that by fully implementing social technologies, companies have an opportunity to raise the productivity of interaction workers—high-skill knowledge workers, including managers and professionals—by 20 to 25 percent.

14. Synthesis
Jamaica has been caught in a low growth low
productivity trap
This low-growth, low-productivity performance at
the national and sector levels must be of great
concern to workers, government, employers & trade
unions - everybody
This is because productivity is the most critical factor
that determines the country’s competitiveness, as
well as the standard of living of our people.
Productivity is everybody’s business February 8, 2011 14
15. Tocarry out its mandate, JPC must partner with the
widest number of stakeholders to assist in the
process of building a productivity culture or
movement.
Economic growth and standard of living is
contingent on productivity improvement
The united efforts of all our citizens is required.
It
is therefore imperative that the productivity
message is understood by everyone at every level.
Productivity is everybody’s business February 8, 2011 15
16. A Cultural Transformation
Building a more productivity-sensitive culture
Example: Introducing productivity-related courses in the
curricula of secondary /tertiary educational institutions
Enrichment of Labour/Management Relationship
A shift from “Industrial Relations” type activities to “Labour
Management Co-operation” type ones.
Example: The increased use of productivity-linked schemes
within business enterprises to remunerate and reward
workers.
Improved Training and Developmental Programs for
Employees/Managers.
17. Allocating resources to minimize or eliminate wastes
(interest of PMI & JPC coincides)
Require that projects are delivered on time, within budget
and according to specification (interest of PMI & JPC
coincides)
Minimizing re-work is about implementing projects
efficiently and effectively (interest of PMI & JPC coincides)
Customer satisfaction – (interest of PMI and JPC coincides)
More fundamentally, economic growth can only be
sustained through productivity growth – (here the interest
of all Jamaicans must coincide.)
