Topics Discussed:
🎯 Why training and change management are too often separated from core project management tasks
💸 The biggest mistake: front-loading change management resources before there's a solution to manage
📚 The critical difference between change management resources and training resources
⏰ Why you should start training 2 months BEFORE your F&O project kicks off
🔧 The fatal flaw in the "train the trainer" approach and when to bring in dedicated training resources
👥 Different audiences need different training: core team vs. SMEs vs. warehouse operators vs. finance users
📊 Building a smarter 18-month training timeline that doesn't overload users right before go-live
🏆 The role of a "training champion" and why it's different from your change management lead
⚠️ Why most companies waste their training budget in the first 4 months of a project
✅ Post-go-live training: why you need resources allocated AFTER you're live, not just before
🎓 How to repurpose implementation activities (like design sessions) into training materials
💡 The toolbox approach: why one-size-fits-all training fails in F&O implementations
