In an international corporation over the years or even decades similar or same processes are implemented differently. This leads to an accumulation of not harmonized processes within the corporation. There are negative side effects on a global view.

Drawbacks:

• No global key figures available without manual consolidation.

• Processes like succession planning, education, performance management, etc. are only available on a local level. No global view at all.

That leads to a huge administrative effort which is cost-intensive.

Room for improvement:

• Harmonized processes lead to a better acceptance and are an efficient method to deploy the existing resources goal oriented.
• Cost savings are a most welcome side effect.
