Combining corporate psychology with LMS for change management

Written by Liezl Schulte

When it comes to successful change management interventions, understanding human behaviour and what drives employees are important aspects of the task. Corporate psychology plays a vital role in designing, implementing and orchestrating change management initiatives and learning management systems (LMS).

When combined with tools like SAP Enable Now (SEN), this approach can offer valuable insights for the change management team and help the business successfully navigate the complexities of change.

Can!do specialises in change management training and digital systems adoption in South Africa. We have 30 years of experience in these fields and we understand the importance of corporate psychology and tools, such as SEN, when it comes to effective initiatives and LMS administration.

What is corporate psychology?

Corporate psychology revolves around human behaviour, cognition and motivation in the workspace. It aims to understand how employees and teams influence performance and the overall success of a company. This field focuses on creating a positive work environment to improve employee satisfaction and business productivity.

In the context of change management, corporate psychology can be used to understand the basic factors that drive employees’ resistance to change. It allows change management teams to develop better strategies that address these underlying concerns and improve the success of the task.

A change management process that adopts corporate psychology is more likely to result in initiatives that resonate with employees and foster a sense of ownership over the new processes and systems. This leads to a smoother transition and improved employee buy-in and morale.

What is SEN?

SAP is a German multinational software company that specialises in business operations and customer relations software. SEN is a comprehensive learning and user adoption software that allows businesses to create, maintain and deliver context-sensitive training materials to employees. It allows users to learn and adapt to new processes more efficiently.

Can!do uses SEN in its digital systems adoption processes as it is a world-class LMS solution that enables employees to adapt to change quickly. By providing in-application help and e-learning content to employees, SEN is a powerful tool for boosting user adoption and productivity throughout the change process.

Scarcity of skills in South Africa

In South Africa, there is a scarcity of skills at the intercept between SEN and LMS administration. This is underscored by the limited number of SAP-certified professionals in the country. This gap in expertise can have a negative impact on the effective implementation of digital systems adoption processes and LMS within businesses, which also has a major impact on the user experience for employees and administrators alike.

Deploying SEN content for LMS requires careful planning and consideration of corporate psychology, content organisation and accessibility to maximise its effectiveness. These are unique points that customers are likely to deal with, but choosing the right change management partner will ensure that this is done properly to ensure a seamless integration of SEN within the LMS.

Skilled professionals will ensure an optimal experience for businesses undergoing change. Can!do has expertise in the function, best practices and reporting aspects of implementing SEN with an LMS. We can maximise the benefits of these tools for a more effective change management and digital systems adoption process.

For change management businesses in South Africa, prioritising the development of skills for customers and their employees requires a multifaceted approach that includes corporate psychology, LMS administration and an understanding of the unique context of each business.

By investing in training tools and incorporating a deep understanding of employee needs, organisations can create a more inclusive environment that improves the success of the change management process. For more information about our services, please contact us today.
