ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights the interaction of the two methodologies Business Transformation Management Methodology (BTM2) and Accelerated SAP (ASAP). Both methodologies, individually used, provide great instruments to plan, realize, and implement changes in a business environment. The BTM Methodology and the ASAP Methodology for Implementation are two prominent methodologies introduced by SAP AG in order to react to ever changing environments. Both BTM2 and ASAP were developed based on thousands of executed transformation programs. BTM2 provides a holistic and integrative view on the organization and the complexity of its ecosystem. The framework manages extensive and complex changes on which an organizations future success strongly depends. The framework is based on a meta management discipline focusing on rather soft cultural factors like values and behaviors, leadership, conflict resolution, and meta-communication, as well as on established management disciplines, including strategy management, value management, process management, risk management, IT transformation, competence and training management, and program management.
