Align readiness to releases
Structured learning activity around release points so preparation could follow the rhythm of implementation rather than sit alongside it.
Standard Bank Africa
Building readiness into a core-banking transformation.
An SAP-enabled core-banking transformation needed more than system training: it needed a disciplined readiness workstream that could coordinate specialists, track capability and protect quality through structured releases.
The brief
Core-banking change reaches deep into operational routines, customer interaction and the way people perform their roles. Ryan led a 14-person learning-specialist workstream supporting an SAP-enabled transformation, coordinating structured releases, LMS reporting, competency tracking and quality assurance so readiness could be managed as part of implementation—not left until after launch.
My approach
Coordinate specialist delivery
Created a shared operating rhythm for a 14-person specialist team, enabling consistent preparation and timely hand-offs.
Make competence visible
Used LMS reporting and competency tracking to make learning status, priority and support needs easier to see.
Protect the hand-off
Applied delivery quality assurance so the readiness workstream could support a controlled move from learning into live operation.
What it enabled
- A coordinated learning-readiness workstream aligned to structured implementation releases.
- A clearer view of learning progress, competency status and support priorities.
- More consistent delivery quality across a multi-specialist transformation team.
