Historically operating with a local focus, the organization faced challenges in aligning systems and practices globally. This HR transformation initiative marked its first truly global project—a critical step toward building a cohesive, scalable HR foundation.
Project Approach
The retailer partnered with Rizing to implement SAP SuccessFactors, leveraging Rizing’s expertise and proven methodology. The project team acted as trusted advisors, listening actively, challenging assumptions, and guiding the organization through complex decisions. Collaboration was key—frequent communication ensured alignment internally and with the client.

- Proactive Leadership: Project leads managed expectations and coached the client throughout the process.
- Team Collaboration: The team delegated effectively and leveraged specialized roles, including architects for system design.
- Quality Assurance: Continuous testing confirmed delivery quality at every stage.
- Commitment: Over a dozen consultants volunteered extra time to push the project past the finish line.
