In line with the breadth of change
in the ever growing organisation,
two major transformational initiatives
went into full gear shortly after
Luiskandl joined: the transition
of Oac’s ERP system (QikKids) to
the Cloud – including the rollout
of new customer-facing apps – and
the implementation of a Cloud-based
workforce management system
(Ento), as well as several smaller
projects.
From the outset it was clear that
Oac’s digital transformation – or
‘digital-powered transformation’
as Luiskandl prefers to call it – would
touch on everything Oac does, and
that success would depend on several
critical success factors including:
- Ensuring organisational ownership
and leadership across all levels, from
the CEO down and from the educators
caring for the children up; - A robust approach to project and
change management, supported with
good governance and assurance, and
the timely acquisition of skills critical
to successful execution;
