Your ERP transformation is the largest technology investment your organisation will make this year. The question is not whether the system will be delivered. It is whether anyone will use it — and whether the investment will produce the return you are expecting.

Most mid-market ERP transformations fail to deliver their expected ROI. Not because the technology fails. Because the human capital layer is unmanaged.

The HumShift Foundation Pilot is a 90-day engagement that gives you the intelligence to change that. Here is what it produces:

You complete the 50Q Rapid Assessment — 50 behaviourally-anchored questions across 10 human capital dimensions. I administer the Transformation Context Module — 55 operational intake questions that surface the gap between how ready you believe your organisation is and how ready it actually is. The result is a Stability Gate verdict (GO, STABILISE, or PAUSE) and a full Executive Transformation Outlook report — leadership-conditioned, evidence-grounded, and specific to your organisation, your workforce, your legal context, and your transformation phase.

You receive five HCDI Deployment Outputs — PROTECT, SEQUENCE, DEVELOP, REINFORCE, REDEPLOY — telling you specifically what to do, in what order, for your specific situation. Not generic change management advice. Deployment intelligence.

This engagement is designed for CEOs, CTOs, and MDs of mid-market manufacturing organisations (200–2,000 employees) in active ERP transformation — SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics. It is particularly relevant for organisations in the DACH region where works council co-determination rights, Sozialplan obligations, and industrial workforce dynamics make standard change management frameworks inadequate.

The Foundation Pilot runs for 90 days. It starts with a 60-minute intake call, moves through the diagnostic and context module, and concludes with a report presentation and 30-day priority action plan.
