3. Business Impact Assessment & Readiness

• Conduct detailed impact assessments on how SAP S/4HANA, eProcurement tools (Ariba, Ivalua), and Finance automation solutions will affect existing steel industry processes.
• Define end-user personas (plant procurement teams, finance controllers, treasury, supplier management teams, etc.) and develop customized adoption strategies.
• Identify key change barriers, such as legacy system dependencies, workforce resistance, regulatory compliance (SOX, IFRS), and supply chain risks.

• Ensure a hypercare support model post-go-live, with dedicated change agents available for on-site and remote assistance.

• Cost volatility in raw material procurement (iron ore, coking coal, scrap).
• Long-term contract negotiations and strategic supplier partnerships.

• Supply chain risk management (supplier concentration, geopolitical risks).
• Work with IT teams to ensure Finance & Procurement digital solutions comply with IFRS, SOX, EU Tax & Compliance regulations, and ESG reporting standards.
• Support data-driven decision-making by integrating spend analytics, predictive forecasting, and supplier risk monitoring into change management efforts.
