Mind The Value: Creating Sustainable Growth Through Digital Disruption

Francesco Meacci, Country Manager (USA) of Mind The Value

Mind The Value, an SAP Gold Partner offering complete coverage of SAP implementations, keeps change management at the heart of its consultation service, ensuring clients’ longterm success in digital transformation.

To better understand how the SAP specialist stands true to its vision, we need to look into a greenfield implementation that Mind The Value recently completed for a multi-billion manufacturing company for their Canadian division.

The success of the project owes a great deal to change management. The project required transitioning a manufacturing plant from a legacy, non-SAP ERP to a S/4HANA system. In addition to technology disruption, business and culture changes due to the client’s merger with two large corporations added layers of complexity.

Mind The Value cut through the layers of these challenges and guided the target plant to success through a structured approach to change management. The team implemented a multi-step strategy that began with aligning every stakeholder to the changes ushered in from both technological and business standpoints. The initial step was followed by helping them adopt a project management mindset that supported business and S/4HANA technical objectives.

Next, Mind The Value implemented an execution plan that considered the technological upgrades’ impacts on day-to-day business operations. The last step involved properly communicating changes to every stakeholder to ensure the initiative’s sustainability. Mind The Value also used a tool designed by one of its partners for onboarding and documentation management, making the transition to the new systems easier for their end users.

This is just one example. Mind The Value has been a part of numerous successful greenfield and brownfield implementation projects. But how does the company achieve this?

“We take a step further as consultants and position ourselves as growth partners for our clients. We treat their goals and challenges as our own,” answers Francesco Meacci, U.S. country manager, Mind The Value.

A Proven Methodology in Place

Mind The Value’s proprietary methodology, Go Disrupt, blends indepth analysis of internal barriers and organizational growth goals to identify solutions that best match the client’s requirements.

Go Disrupt enables Mind The Value to gain a deep understanding of an organization’s functional units from a business perspective. In the initial step, the team carries out an assessment to prioritize short- and long-term projects. Then, in a two-step assessment, the business processes and existing technology capabilities are analyzed in parallel. With the insights gleaned from the assessments, a strategy is formulated, and solutions are selected to help clients make big strides in their digital journey. The approach also adds value as it helps clients achieve the intended digital transformation results quickly and effortlessly.

What sets Mind The Value a notch above the rest is its ability to develop creative strategies for various process and materials-related industries, including cables, paper, textile, mining, metals, and industrial manufacturing. The company brings full-scope SAP consulting to the table, which includes but not limited to extreme specialization in sales and distribution, financial accounting, quality and material management, project control system as well as production planning and execution.
