APEX-3People Readiness Intelligence

Your ERP is ready.
Are your people?

APEX-3 was developed by InCloud to make people readiness measurable.

It combines process and learner data into an evidence-based view of where capability gaps exist, where intervention is required and where people-related risk may affect go-live.

The readiness gap

Technical readiness is measured. People readiness is assumed.

ERP programmes measure technical readiness extensively.

  • Configuration
  • Testing
  • Data
  • Defects
  • Integrations
  • Cutover

Tracked, tested and reported

People readiness

Too often, it is judged by:

  • Training completion
  • Spreadsheets
  • Subjective judgement

Are the people who must operate the system actually ready?

The problem

Training completionis notpeople readiness.

Traditional signals

  • Training attendance
  • Course completion
  • Assessment completion
  • Training schedules
  • Subjective feedback
  • Consultant judgement

Readiness evidence

  • Process performance
  • Learner capability
  • Confidence
  • Conformance
  • Rework
  • Critical gaps
  • Role and process readiness
  • Remediation status

A programme can complete its training plan and still carry people-related operational risk.

People Readiness Score

PRSPeople Readiness Score · 0–100

One score. The evidence behind it.

A single measure of readiness, with the process and learner evidence that drives it.

How the score is built

Process-Level Gap Intelligence

Readiness gaps by process, module and activity.

03

Full Learning Needs Analysis

Learning requirements across the process landscape.

04

Go-Live Control

Status, critical gaps and decision information in one executive view.

05

Remediation

Gaps turned into actions with owners and status.

06

Risk Visibility

Critical people-readiness risks requiring intervention.

07

Estimated Financial Exposure

A modelled view of potential exposure associated with readiness gaps.

08

    Combine process and learner data.

  2. 02

    Analyse

    Identify process-level gaps.

  3. 03

    Score

    Calculate the People Readiness Score and its evidence.

  4. 04

    Prioritise

    Rank critical gaps for intervention.

  5. 05

    Remediate

    Assign and track the actions.

  6. 06

    Decide

    Evidence for the go-live decision.

  7. 07

    Monitor

    Keep measuring as the programme evolves.

Where APEX-3 fits

People Readiness Intelligence
for ERP transformation.

APEX-3 complements the systems, partners and tools already in your programme.

  • Your LMSRecords learning.APEX-3 shows whether it produced readiness.
  • SAP or OracleRuns the processes.APEX-3 shows whether people can operate them.
  • Your systems integratorDelivers the technical solution.APEX-3 adds the people-readiness view.
  • Assessment toolsTest what people know.APEX-3 combines assessment with process evidence.
  • Project dashboardsTrack the plan.APEX-3 evidences the readiness behind it.

Stop guessing.
Start knowing.

If your ERP programme were scheduled to go live tomorrow, could you objectively demonstrate that your people were ready?
