In recessions, winning companies take and sustain

advantage over their competitors

Winning companies (*) take distance

from losing ones during and after

recessions.

Post-recession results divergence

between winning and losing

companies is significant.

On leaving a recession, winning

companies tend to keep their

leadership and generate sustainable

advantages through time.

to the

industry

Winners

Losers

Note: (*) = Winning companies are those that managed to obtain better results –as measured by the ROIC– than those of their industry peers during

the 6 years following the 1990-91 recession.

In down markets, winning companies differentiate

themselves by strengthening operating models

through process and enabling technology

They act decisively as soon as problems start to appear in the horizon (ie. Leading

indicators), investing in new capabilities to strengthen business operating models

They set priorities based on detailed knowledge of how the company creates value (eg.

products, customer segments, key processes, technology, people, finance)

They leverage IT to support key value drivers (value drivers, which are known and

understood).

They work together with customers and stakeholders in order to align their value

propositions to changing environments

“In the cost-cutting discussions we're having right now - and there are many - I remind my team that the next generation of technology and services will be born out of decisions we make at this unique moment in time”Anne Muclahy, CEO Xerox, April 2009

Yet even in good times, companies are challenged

to achieve the full benefits of their technology

investments

• While companies are slowly improving implementation performance, few claim

success at capturing the full business value targeted by their systems investments

• We found that top performers took a distinctly different approach to implementing

and leveraging their enterprise systems

In 2006 > 55% declare to have reached the majority of their targets but only 6% could claim a full success

Rationale for Value Realization in Systems Integration Programs

• There is significant value in increasing the confidence that technology investments will result in targeted benefits – translating into shareholder returns

• Many companies are looking for real business transformation, not just technology implementation, to drive business performance

• Further, many companies are looking to develop truly “innovative”solutions that create competitiveadvantage and differentiatedcapabilities

• The ability to capture businessbenefits (cost/revenue) in advance of end-state technologyis increasingly important,particularly in the currenteconomic situation

A Healthy Tension Should Exist Between

Efficient Delivery and Business Objectives

Establishing the “healthy tension” between Business Needs and Program

Execution

Program Governance

Defined roles, responsibilities & decision

rights to manage the healthy tension

Process Ownership

– business value focused –

Ensuring process design & systems choices meet business

needs

Inherent bias toward best fit solution for each business need

- highest adoption

SI Delivery

– execution focused –

Ensuring successful systems implementation

Inherent bias toward common solutions, for lower cost and faster

execution

Starter Questions for Discussion

How effective have programs you’ve been involved with been at

Value Realization as described?

What components of the value realization approach have you most

often seen employed?

What are the major obstacles incorporating value realization

formally in SAP programs?

What other approaches or tools have you seen used that would

enhance value realization?
