What is decision paralysis? 😥 A definition and 4 easy steps to prevent it in the first place!
Reclaim.ai says it is the “inability to decide out of fear of making the wrong choice or being overwhelmed by too many options”.
As a career consultant and intrapreneur (I was a corporate warrior trying to make changes from the inside before I went out on my own 😉), I have seen this self-sabotaging behavior ensue at the executive level all the way down to entry-level personnel in any transformation program I’ve advised or led.
If this is plaguing your organization, is there anything you can do about it?
The good news is that you can…and in 4 steps nevertheless! 😊
1️⃣ Recognize decision paralysis
2️⃣ Prioritize your choices
3️⃣ Create your daily plan
4️⃣ Automate your decision making

5️⃣ Reasons Your Transformation Has Gone Wrong 🤯 (and what you can do about it!)
1️⃣ Internal Under-resourcing - employees are hardly ever backfilled to transition onto project roles in implementations, they are burning the midnight oil, working overtime every single day (and sometimes weekends) just to keep up with the dual nature of their new role.
2️⃣ Drafting a sub-optimal Request-for-Proposal (RFP) - More often than not, critical workstreams in the overall RFP are left to the devices of the customer themselves. The three that come to mind that almost always receive little attention are: Change Management, Test Strategy/Execution, and Reporting Strategy.
3️⃣ Lack of cross-functional impact analysis / communication - All ERP platforms are interconnected and can impact each other in detrimental ways if the configuration is not understood at a minutiae level.
4️⃣ Lack of rationalization/cleanup initiatives prior to program kickoff - most customers know they have organization-wide rationalization initiatives that should be undertaken before they even begin thinking about transitioning to a new ERP platform. However, the reality is that many of them wait until months after the implementation has kicked off to start executing on these initiatives.
5️⃣ Underestimating enablement activities as part of implementation pre-planning - key enablement activities involve the following:
👉 Identifying personnel to fill key project roles / establishing a project charter
👉 Defining the project delivery / plan
👉 Discovery sessions (also referred to as conference room pilots)
