1. Introduction
Philips has invested over a period a significant amount of money in all kind of global IT solutions to support the business processes, such as ERP/SAP – CRM – Vendavo and APO.
It’s obvious that training and capturing the knowledge are essential for such IT / Business investments, however this is not always the case.Just a short summarize of things that might can go wrong;• “Projects do not always deliver what has been promised …”• “Training material was not properly delivered or old dated on Go live of a
project …”• “End users left for another job and the job / IT knowledge was not properly
transferred …”• “New / reviewed business solutions have been implemented however no
sufficient training was given …”

The following business issues in relation to IT productivity and process excellence have been identified;
• Not clear for which sites / regions Philips runs a potential risk by lack of knowledge in certain applications / functions combinations
• No training / IT productivity programs – no roadmap has been deployed • No productivity involvement at project ‘initiation’ / ‘post go live’ to
safeguard the training / IT productivity part• No clear transparent process available for the business how to address /
initiate IT productivity demand• Broken processes, to be identified via KPIs, due to often missing knowledge /
documentation• No overall training catalogue available, so business can easily pro-active repair
knowledge where required

9. Cost and funding
The main principles for the coming period agreed are;
• Any demand needs to be registered with typical information (description, timing, value, costs, readiness, risk, contacts…) in the demand portal.
• The IT productivity lead will organize for regular or ad hoc reviews to take related decisions on what to execute
• Very small effort will be covered by a dedicated small bucket (PR number tbd), owned by lead ITBP, any single activity registering time there requires lead ITBP approval
• Targeted efforts towards commercial organisations will need to be covered by QMR budgets (competing with ‘normal’ projects), decision per MG/BG with available budget
• Larger scale efforts and such related to BGs / Factories / Innovation etc need to go through normal project request and budget competition on total Lighting scale
• Lead IT productivity will act as a kind of project manager with relation to keeping costs within agreed limits in all levels
