Über Ritvars
Senior transformation and change manager helping organizations turn ERP, AI and digital programs into measurable adoption, executive clarity and business value. Founder of readinesscompass.com
I help organizations turn complex transformation programs into measurable business outcomes.
With 15+ years of experience across digital transformation, ERP/SAP adoption, change management, KPI systems, executive reporting and business–technology alignment, I support companies that need more than project coordination. I help leaders clarify the roadmap, align stakeholders, manage adoption risks, build governance routines and translate strategy into practical execution.
My background includes SAP S/4HANA transformation, Salesforce optimization, Microsoft Copilot / GenAI adoption, SSC transformation, commercial PMO leadership and executive dashboard design. I have worked across global, regulated and technology-driven environments, helping senior teams move from ambition to adoption, from fragmented initiatives to structured delivery, and from activity tracking to real value capture.
Clients usually involve me when transformation is business-critical, politically complex, cross-functional or at risk of becoming “just another implementation.” My strength is combining strategic framing with hands-on delivery: clear priorities, measurable KPIs, strong stakeholder alignment, practical change enablement and disciplined follow-through until adoption becomes visible in daily operations.
