Assumptions we made (that turned out to be accurate vs not) AstraZeneca HR are the biggest resistor to the change Open book drives trust Cultural fit Partnership is crucial More languages the better NGA deliver 80% Global standard solution NGA Ability to jointly implement challenging roll-out schedule Ability to implement first rate joint people readiness Leverage the global footprint and expertise Ability to achieve self service targets within year 1 Under 25% system localization
What it takes to get 100+ countries live... in just 2 years AstraZeneca NGA Visible ownership by the business Good project & commercial management Ambitious & pace setting CHRO Start small; leave large countries till last Resilience x 100 and more Focused & determined project management Visible senior leadership global, regional & local Visionary CEO Commitment to governance Strong process documentation & adherence Solution expertise (brightest brains)
The challenges along the way AstraZeneca Payroll over-validation Delayed Functionality Controls & SOx We didn t know what we didn t know. Time vs Cost vs Quality NGA Moving from consultants to delivery of standard Consistency of service and solution across country/region Expectation management of what will be the new world
Pros & Cons of advisors Fill critical Capability Gaps Know what questions to ask & when Objective Remediation The third person in the marriage - mistrust Manage the $$$ vs benefit rigourously
What we would repeat and do differently Repeat Spend time detailing the contract; then work reality through together post deal signing e.g. SLAs Start small and build Talk to others who are ahead on the journey Agree local ways of working from day 1 Strong governance in place Do Differently Define good enough early Review and consistently apply go-live go/no go criteria Manage transition from project to operational phases more closely Provide more context around core issues & requirements
