SAP go-live Monday
A maintenance planner can’t raise a work order on go-live Monday. Then the same project starts with the end.
IT programmes and projects
Nobody reads the 120-page project document. They’ll watch two minutes of their own Monday: the finished project at kickoff, then what changes for each team at go-live.
For IT programmes and projects
A big rollout touches thousands of people. Departments with different priorities and different constraints, and some that don’t talk to each other. A 120-page project document doesn’t land with any of them.
A two-minute story does. It follows one person through their Monday after go-live, so every stakeholder, in every office, pictures the same finished project.
The finished project as a short animated story, played at kickoff and sent to everyone who wasn’t in the room.
What changes on Monday, told for each department, from the same story.
For the months of a big rollout, such as an SAP move before mainstream maintenance for its older ERP ends in 2027. I work alongside your team, by the day.
“They all understood it. It changed the way they delivered the project.”
Project work inside 28 organisations, including BP, IBM, Microsoft, Sonic Healthcare, Queensland Police and Petro-Canada.
Programme films
Each film shows where it’s used: at kickoff, during the rollout, at go-live, or sent to customers before go-live. Tap one to watch it with sound.
A maintenance planner can’t raise a work order on go-live Monday. Then the same project starts with the end.
Nine departments, one new grants system, and nine different pictures of it. Then the kickoff opens with one person’s first week after go-live.
One new patient record for every hospital in the region. The rollout starts with one patient’s day on it, from the ambulance to her GP.
A hospital system goes live at midnight. At 2 am, a night nurse can’t find the medication screen.
A new billing system goes live without a hitch. Then a customer’s first bill looks nothing like the last, and she thinks it’s a scam.
Four hours of slides at kickoff, and everyone walks out picturing a different system. Then a short story of the finished system, before the build starts.
Corporate work
Tell me about your programme: how many departments, how many people, and when it goes live. I’ll come back with a fixed quote, so the price doesn’t move. One film for the whole project, or a cut for each department.
How a video gets made
Shown with a real one: SAP go-live Monday, made for programmes facing the 2027 deadline.
An hour on a call. I read your documents and website first, so we start on what matters.
The brief: thousands of people at a mine site move to new SAP screens on one Monday. Show them that Monday before it happens.
One person, one day, the old way and the new. You sign off the script.
Meet Sam. He plans maintenance at a mine site. Twelve years in the old screens. He can raise a work order with his eyes shut. On go-live Monday, he can’t find it. The crew is waiting.
Every scene as a still frame. You sign them off before anything is animated.



Scenes 3, 4 and 5, signed off as stills
Animation, a professional voice, music and captions. Versions for your website and LinkedIn.
Usually about three weeks from our first conversation.
Questions
Every corporate job is different, so I quote each one after a conversation. The quote is fixed, so the price doesn’t move.
Yes. That’s a series from one story: the same characters, with a cut for each department’s Monday.
Yes, by the day, for the months of a rollout.
Yes, before we start. The story needs your situation, not your secrets, so you never have to send anything confidential.
About three weeks from our first conversation, depending on how quickly the script and the scenes are signed off.
The scenes and the animation are made with AI tools, from a script and a storyboard you sign off. The story comes from our conversation, and nothing is animated until you’ve approved every scene.
Watch The moment the rules matter and judge for yourself. You see every scene as a still first, and anything that looks wrong is redrawn before it moves.
Your rounds of changes are for the script and the storyboard. Once you’ve signed those off, any scene that doesn’t look right is regenerated until you’re happy with it, at no extra cost, in cartoon or film-style.
You do. Use it on your website, LinkedIn, intranet, LMS and in presentations.
