In the fast-evolving world of business technology, Oracle’s Redwood UX represents a new era for enterprise applications—one that prioritizes intuitive design, automation, and data-driven decisions. But as with any transformation, the true value of Redwood isn’t unlocked through software alone—it’s realized through your people. That’s where the dynamic partnership between change management and user adoption teams becomes mission-critical.
Too often, organizations focus heavily on system implementation while overlooking the human side of transformation. For an ERP upgrade or rollout—especially one as forward-thinking as Oracle Redwood—this is a costly oversight. Change management experts and user adoption trainers must work in tandem to ensure your workforce is not only prepared but also empowered to thrive in the new environment.
Two Sides of the Same Coin

Change management teams focus on the strategic transition from legacy systems and processes to the new way of working. They map out communication plans, identify change impacts, engage stakeholders, and monitor organizational readiness. Their role is to reduce resistance and drive alignment at every level of the business.
On the other hand, user adoption professionals translate this strategic direction into actionable, accessible training. Their expertise lies in the system itself—Oracle ERP in this case—and in designing targeted learning paths for users based on their roles, responsibilities, and comfort with technology. They ensure that employees are business-ready on day one, minimizing productivity dips and helpdesk overload.
Without change management, users may be blindsided by the transformation. Without user adoption support, they may lack the confidence or skills to leverage the new tools effectively. Communication between these two teams is key to a successful upgrade.

What this means for ERP Insiders
Integrate change management and user training from the start. Don’t wait until go-live to think about training. Involve both change management and user adoption teams early in the project lifecycle. Build a unified roadmap that includes stakeholder engagement, communication planning, and role-based training timelines. This proactive alignment prevents silos, reduces confusion, and ensures everyone—from leadership to frontline staff—is ready for the transition.
Design training that mirrors real user workflows. Avoid generic training content. Instead, collaborate with functional leads and user adoption experts to create learning materials that reflect actual day-to-day tasks within Oracle Redwood. Leverage job role-specific scenarios, guided simulations, and just-in-time learning tools. This ensures users see immediate relevance and are equipped to perform from day one.
Foster ongoing collaboration to drive continuous improvement. Keep change and training teams connected well beyond the initial rollout. Schedule regular touchpoints to gather user feedback, monitor adoption trends, and identify new training needs. Working with partners like Fudgelearn, you can continuously refine your approach—ensuring users remain confident and your ERP investment continues to deliver long-term value.
