How IFS Cloud Training Works | The CloudReady Method
Our proven 3-phase approach to IFS Cloud training: Readiness, Capability, and Mastery. Learn how we ensure user adoption before, during, and after your implementation.
Effective IFS training isn't a single event—it's a journey that spans your entire implementation. Our methodology ensures users are prepared, capable, and confident at every stage.
Phase 1: READINESS (Before Implementation)
Goal: Prepare your organisation for change before the technical work begins.
- User Familiarisation: We introduce ERP concepts and benefits early, easing the transition and reducing resistance. Users understand the "why" before they see the "what."
- Skill Gap Identification: We identify capability gaps across your user population and plan role-based training that addresses real needs, not assumed ones.
- Early Engagement: We engage key users and stakeholders early to build confidence and encourage adoption. Champions are created before go-live, not after.
- Foundational Training: We focus on system navigation, terminology, and the purpose behind processes. Users arrive at detailed training with context already in place.
Outcome: An organisation that's psychologically ready for change, with training plans aligned to actual needs.
Phase 2: CAPABILITY (During Implementation)
Goal: Build the skills and confidence users need to succeed at go-live.
- Hands-On Training: Users learn by doing, not watching. Every training session includes practical exercises in your actual IFS environment.
- Role-Specific Exercises: Training is tailored to how each role will actually use the system. Finance users learn finance workflows. Operations users learn operations workflows. No one wastes time on irrelevant content.
- Interactive Learning: Simulations, walkthroughs, and real-world scenarios enhance retention and prepare users for actual situations they'll encounter.
- Continuous Feedback: We gather feedback throughout training to address concerns, adjust pace, and ensure no one gets left behind.
Outcome: Users who are genuinely capable and confident when go-live arrives—not just trained on paper.
Phase 3: MASTERY (After Implementation)
Goal: Ensure adoption sticks and users continue to improve.
- Ongoing Training: Refresher sessions and advanced topics deepen user skills and address challenges that only emerge in real-world use.
- Adoption Monitoring: We track system usage to identify gaps and address challenges promptly—before workarounds become habits.
- Feedback & Support: Floor-walking, help desk support, and feedback channels maintain engagement and resolve issues quickly.
- Continuous Improvement: We foster a culture of learning where users continue to discover better ways to use the system and improve their processes.
Outcome: Sustained adoption that delivers ongoing business value—not a system that users tolerate but never embrace.
