The Challenge in Change.
Successful digital transformation means more than acquiring more technology or data. Maybe you’ve performed a data deep dive or dipped into artificial intelligence. Maybe you’ve invested in tech startups or run pilots. Maybe you don’t know what digital transformation success looks like for your organization — or how to achieve it. Digital Transformation is all about focusing on how to increase value by leveraging technology and data. This means prioritizing, implementing, and sustaining a range of digital initiatives across your business supported by governance, change management, and communications.
How & where do I start?
How can I leverage technology to be more efficient with my activities/ processes?
How do I move beyond adding up and reporting what happened last year?
How do I prepare our EHS&S organization for transformation?
How do I get a step change in EHS&S performance as it’s stagnating?
How can I get more value for my investment in EHS&S and/or reduce costs?
Understanding where you are — and where you want to be
As part of the transformation journey, it’s critical to understand where you are and where you want to be.

In 6 months we helped one of the largest pharma company in the world to design and deliver an analytics strategy + built the capability to continue to sustain it and take ownership…. Helped client figure out a product stewardship strategy & use analytics to shave a year off their product development cycle.
Working closely with digital ecosystem partners, we’re scoping potential EHS&S digital enablement opportunities for a significant portion of their upstream operations. Co-facilitated a “zoom-in, zoom-out” workshop to provide insight into the ‘art of the possible’ that found unique ways to deliver positive business outcomes.
ERM delivered an end-to-end software solution that leveraging existing internal systems while transitioning others to managed services for best overall cost and service level. In doing so, we were able to manage everything from chemical use evaluation to safety data sheets, inventory management, reporting, and proprietary materials.
Our client had a number of challenges digitalizing its EHS&S functions -- specifically its fragmented data landscape. We have developed and gained buy-in/approval for a multi-year action plan to improve overall data quality driven by their domain priorities. It is being implemented on a globally standardized EHS&S toolset.
ERM digitized the safety assessment program, saving staff time and reducing cost. By putting assessment findings into a digital archive, with near-real time visibility and visualization, we were able to work with the client to identify large, previously unacknowledged, enterprise-wide risks. This was only possible through the use of mobile data collection and a deliberate approach to visualization.

Tasked by its board of directors to drive compliance risk from operations, our client embarked on a series of initiatives to harmonize and enhance its EHS Management System by introducing an Information Management System (IMS). With ERM is leading the transformation, other business functions (Quality, R&D, Sustainability) quickly joined the IMS initiative. And while we’re just underway, the future Management Systems rollout and Digital Systems deployment projects will no doubt be significant.
