ONLY ABOUT CHILDREN

“ Everything Oac does is to empower every child to reach their full potential through a passion for learning ”
— Anna Learmonth , CEO , Only About Children
In line with the breadth of change in the ever growing organisation , two major transformational initiatives went into full gear shortly after Luiskandl joined : the transition of Oac ’ s ERP system ( QikKids ) to the Cloud – including the rollout of new customer-facing apps – and the implementation of a Cloud-based workforce management system ( Ento ), as well as several smaller projects .
From the outset it was clear that Oac ’ s digital transformation – or ‘ digital-powered transformation ’ as Luiskandl prefers to call it – would touch on everything Oac does , and that success would depend on several critical success factors including :
1 . Ensuring organisational ownership and leadership across all levels , from the CEO down and from the educators caring for the children up ;
2 . A robust approach to project and change management , supported with good governance and assurance , and the timely acquisition of skills critical to successful execution ;
