Case Study: ECCO drives global SAP S/4HANA transformation and capability building with 20 Thousand Leagues

ECCO directs SAP S/4HANA transformation with 20 Thousand Leagues and trains 1,000+ professionals

The Danish global footwear and lifestyle brand ECCO faced the challenge of implementing a complex SAP S/4HANA enterprise technology programme, an effort that risked breaking the organization by touching every functional area and legacy way of working. The vendor, 20 Thousand Leagues, provided interim Programme Director Sune to lead this transformation, ensuring governance was both tight for decision-making and loose enough to avoid suffocating the operational business.

20 Thousand Leagues directed the programme with formal change management built into its governance from the start and led a 25-person transformation department to ensure organizational adoption. The results included the successful end-to-end direction of the transformation department and programme leadership on one of the most complex technology programmes a global consumer brand can run. The vendor's practitioner also trained over 1,000 professionals at Implement Consulting Group in project methodologies and change management, scaling their capability to deliver similar transformations.
