WGA Advisors Awarded SAP S/4HANA Turnaround Engagement by Global Pharmaceutical Leader

Torrance, CA – May 25, 2025 – WGA Advisors is proud to announce our selection to lead a high-stakes SAP S/4HANA transformation turnaround for a prominent global pharmaceutical company. This decision follows a challenging and unsuccessful Release 2 deployment led by a top-tier systems integrator, which resulted in widespread business disruption, delayed functionality, and significantly low end-user adoption across key functions and geographies.

Recognizing the critical need for program stabilization and long-term recovery, the client has awarded WGA Advisors full responsibility for leading the Behavior Change Management (BCM) and enterprise readiness workstreams. Our mission is to realign the transformation around value realization, business enablement, and sustainable change.

As part of this engagement, WGA Advisors will take on strategic ownership of the following pillars:

• Change Management & Organizational Alignment
  We will conduct a comprehensive current-state assessment, uncover change fatigue and misalignment issues, and work directly with executive sponsors to reset the vision and re-engage the organization. Our proven approach will ensure every business unit is clear on their role, committed to the outcomes, and equipped to drive transformation from within.

• Strategic Communications & Engagement
  Our team will design and deliver a targeted communication strategy that restores trust, fosters transparency, and generates buy-in from senior leadership to front-line users. We’ll enable two-way engagement to ensure that insights, feedback, and local adoption risks are continuously surfaced and addressed.

• Learning Strategy & Role-Based Enablement
  A scalable, fit-for-purpose learning model will be deployed to ensure users are not just trained—but empowered. We’ll design learning journeys by persona and process, and leverage modern tools to deliver high-impact content that drives confidence, competence, and sustained SAP usage.

• Stakeholder Management & Impact Analytics
  Using WGA’s proprietary stakeholder heat mapping and readiness analytics, we’ll closely monitor engagement levels, change risks, and organizational sentiment to guide interventions. Real-time data will inform targeted actions and support leadership with decision-making grounded in behavioral insight.

This SAP S/4HANA turnaround is not just about course-correcting a system deployment—it’s about rebuilding trust, restoring business continuity, and ultimately enabling one of the world’s most respected pharmaceutical companies to realize its digital vision.

WGA Advisors brings deep life sciences expertise, a rigorous change management methodology, and a reputation for delivering under pressure. We are honored to be chosen as the trusted partner to lead this recovery and look forward to driving a successful outcome that delivers value, resilience, and operational excellence.
