3. 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 …”

4. 1. Introduction

training such E-learning and standard catalogue solutions.
The new IT productivity role needs to anticipate and act on these IT / Business
environmental changes and safeguard the valuable asset: “Knowledge”!
This document describes the way for the right approach , scope, goals and the
way to realize the achievements.
It’s meant as an internal overview / structure to set the foundation for this new
IT productivity role.
The period for review is 3-5 months.

6. 3. Situation analysis section
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

16. 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
