Vision to Value: Deloitte Reveals Framework to Realize Business Value through ERP Enabled Transformations

Published

on

Proprietary framework will enable clients to realize value through end-to-end ERP transformation across industries.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Deloitte today introduces “Vision to Value” for SAP – a proprietary method and framework that is based on over 35 years of successful SAP transformations and their value drivers. Vision to Value drives organizations to orient, preserve, and deliver measurable financial and non-financial value from their ERP investments. Unlike other methods, Deloitte’s methodology focuses on value throughout each stage of the ERP transformation journey: ERP planning and strategy, inflight implementation and post implementation, ensuring value is not a by-product.

“Vision to Value’s methodology is fueled by a set of integrated capabilities specifically designed to accelerate and improve the ability to articulate, measure, manage and realize value throughout the implementation lifecycle of major ERP initiatives,” said Vadhi Narasimhamurti, principal and the Global SAP Offering Leader for Deloitte Consulting LLP. “It is a refined and holistic approach that provides our clients greater confidence in transformation decisions before, during and after an ERP implementation.”

Before – ERP planning and strategy. Aligns organizational strategy to ERP goals. What will success look like. What critical metrics and value drivers will demonstrate success.During – Inflight implementation. Mitigates the risk of over-indexing on the technicality of implementation and go-live. Keeps the focus on value beyond the initial business case. Embeds value analysis within change control boards and transformation management offices.After – Post implementation. Softens the common business performance dip. Continues value focus for process improvements; enhancement/innovation prioritization based on value drivers; capability improvements measured and tracked (e.g., renegotiating supplier contracts for material rates after gaining better visibility into total spend, resulting in a lower cost of goods sold).

Clients embarking on their ERP value journey often misstep with ill-defined and abandoned business cases, unclear and misaligned expectations on outcomes and a lack of clarity on who is accountable for realizing value within each functional area (e.g., finance, procurement, supply chain). Setting a transformative value ambition while merely performing a technical upgrade is a recipe for a failed program. It is critical that ERP outcomes are connected to corporate objectives and the value case is defined holistically considering how process re-engineering, automation and operating model changes are required to turn soft-dollar efficiencies into hard-dollar savings.

“Organizations should be focused on maximizing the value from their ERP investments holistically,” said Michael David Wilson, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “Too often, organizations fail to realize their value ambitions because value is only a focus for the business case, and after the implementation when shareholders and executives ask, ‘I spent $100M, what did I get out of it?’ Technology capabilities need to be paired with disciplined processes, operating model changes and better data quality to drive realizable value.”

Built on Deloitte’s Enterprise Value Map and backed by industry-focused improvement benchmarks and value-driving metrics, the Vision to Value framework accelerates strategic alignment of an organization’s objectives to ERP outcomes, while articulating the metrics for top-down and bottoms-up value definition and realization. Ultimately, the Vision to Value method provides lasting confidence and clarity for the C-suite on ERP investment value.

This announcement comes on the heels of Deloitte’s recent recognition as a 2024 SAP Pinnacle Award recipient in three categories: Customer Success: Sales Success | Large Enterprise, Delivery Quality and RISE with SAP | Delivery Quality. Deloitte, an SAP global services partner, helps clients activate the intelligent, cloud-enabled Kinetic Enterprise™ with SAP technologies — to help them reimagine everything, innovate rapidly and evolve with confidence in the face of constant disruption. Each day across the globe, Deloitte’s team of more than 30,000 professionals is working with leaders across industries to explore the art of the possible with SAP solutions — and to take action.

Loliware receives commitment of technical assistance from Subnational Climate Fund to introduce SEA Technology® to the region, beginning with Guatemala

Published

on

By

The Subnational Climate Fund (SCF) is going to provide technical grant support to Loliware’s plastic-free initiative in Central America – an initiative at the intersection of plastic pollution, blue economic development, and climate change mitigation.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Subnational Climate Fund (SCF) is going to provide technical grant support to Loliware’s plastic-free initiative in Central America – an initiative at the intersection of plastic pollution, blue economic development, and climate change mitigation. The project aims to replace conventional plastic with Loliware’s seaweed-based resins, which are regenerative, carbon-capturing, and entirely biobased. The project addresses both plastic waste and environmental challenges practically and sustainably.

Loliware is partnered with a leading family-owned manufacturing company in Guatemala for the project site. Guatemala is the largest economy in Central America and has already made significant strides towards sustainable development. With a GDP of approximately $84 billion, the country has implemented the Climate Change Framework Law, which supports the Low Emission Development Strategy (LEDS). This strategy aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 59% by 2050. It targets six key sectors: energy, transportation, industry, land use, agriculture, and waste management. This foundation enables more innovative projects like Loliware’s to contribute to and achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

And like Loliware, Guatemala is already working towards a plastic-free future. In 2019, the government implemented a nationwide ban on single-use plastics like bags, straws, and food containers, requiring businesses to transition to compostable materials. However, despite this progress, challenges such as limited waste management infrastructure and open burning of plastics in rural areas persist, posing serious environmental and health risks.

Loliware, with the technical assistance support from the Subnational Climate Fund (SCF), is advancing solutions to address these challenges with the introduction of seaweed-based resins—regenerative biomaterials made with ocean-farmed seaweed, that are both backyard compostable and biorenewable. Beyond reducing plastic waste, this initiative supports coastal resilience, empowers women through job creation, and strengthens local economies, aligning with Guatemala’s sustainability goals.

“We are honored to join forces with the extraordinary families and manufacturing communities in the region. Loliware’s initiative marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration, and we are fully dedicated to driving meaningful and enduring positive impact. By introducing regenerative seaweed materials, we hope to end plastic pollution and safeguard the Rio Motagua for future generations.” – Sea Briganti, Founder & CEO, Loliware

Guatemala marks just the beginning. Over the next three years, Loliware intends to collaborate with six more plastics manufacturers across Central America. This effort highlights the region’s potential to emerge as a global leader in advancing the green economy and promoting technological innovation.

About SCF

The Subnational Climate Finance initiative (SCF) invests in subnational climate-smart infrastructure projects incorporating nature-based solutions including sustainable energy, waste and water management, urban development solutions and sustainable agriculture. The SCF Initiative consists of an investment fund managed by Pegasus Capital Advisors and a Technical Assistance Facility executed by Catalytic Finance Foundation, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Gold Standard.

About Loliware

Established in 2016, Loliware is a materials innovation company utilizing AI to develop materials to replace single-use plastics with seaweed-based alternatives. Our groundbreaking SEA Technology® Resins present a sustainable solution with endless potential. Compatible with existing plastic manufacturing equipment, they enable the production of home-compostable, circular products that aid in Earth’s regeneration. Loliware’s current line of award-winning seaweed-based bio-resins matches conventional plastics’ performance, addressing the issue of microplastics and promoting nature-based carbon sequestration.
