Hi all, this week I have looked into the implementation of information systems in business. Although you may see this as an upgrade for a company, there is also many struggles they face when imposing these systems.  1. Inadequate Training Training should be one of the most important factors when implementing new software. Employees need to understand how to utilise the software for the day to day running of the business. The project team must communicate frequently and accurately with employees by making an on - boarding plan to get employees up to speed and to use the features with confidence. An example of this process not being carried out correctly is with Nike and their supply chain issues in 2021. They stated that their employees were not adequately trained before the system went live. With some other software issues, this caused Nike to lose $100 Million + in revenue as well as lawsuits and a 20% drop in stock. Related Nike article:  Nike Supply Chain Issues 2. Misalign...
