A high-level change impact analysis (CIA) in SAP OCM gathers broad insights early on. Option C is correct because interviews and workshops with stakeholders (e.g., business leads) provide a comprehensive view of impacts across units. Option A is incorrect—surveys are too narrow and project-team focused. Option B is part of detailed CIA, not high-level. Option D is a follow-up, not the method itself. SAP emphasizes stakeholder engagement for high-level CIA.

“Conduct high-level change impact analysis through stakeholder interviews and workshops to assess broad impacts” (SAP Activate, OCM Workstream, Prepare Phase).

The Prepare phase in SAP Activate sets up enablement foundations. Option A is correct because the learning needs analysis (LNA) for the project team—e.g., assessing if consultants need S/4HANA skills—ensures implementers are ready before design, critical for early success. Option C is correct as the enablement strategy (e.g., “train key users first”) defines the approach, aligning with project goals—e.g., planning phased training before go-live.

Option B is incorrect—content development (e.g., tutorials) occurs in Realize, once processes are defined. Option D is incorrect; business user LNA follows in Explore/Realize, after impacts are clearer—Prepare focuses on the team. SAP OCM prioritizes early team readiness and strategy.

“In Prepare, perform the learning needs analysis for the project team and develop the enablement strategy to establish a strong enablement foundation” (SAP Activate, Prepare Phase Enablement).

Effective communication in SAP OCM leverages a mix of channels. Option A is correct because existing channels (e.g., company intranet) save resources, while new channels (e.g., project-specific newsletters) highlight critical updates, grabbing attention. Option B is incorrect—channel choice isn’t age-specific, and “generic information” isn’t a key benefit. Option C is flawed; existing channels don’t inherently signal stability, and new channels don’t prevent overload. Option D is incorrect—internalization speed and alignment effort aren’t primary benefits tied to channel type.SAP OCM advocates balancing efficiency and impact, making A the best fit.

“Utilize existing channels to minimize effort and cost, and introduce new channels to emphasize key messages and enhance visibility” (SAP OCM Framework, Communication Dimension).

During the go-live phase (SAP Activate Deploy phase), change management focuses on supporting end-users to ensure adoption and smooth transition. Option C is correct because organizing Q&A sessions for key users addresses immediate concerns, fosters confidence, and aligns with OCM’s role in facilitating two-way communication. Option D is correct as sending out ad-hoc support information (e.g., helpdesk contacts) ensures users know where to turn for help, a critical task to sustain adoption post-go-live. Option A is incorrect—informing external suppliers is typically a business or procurement responsibility, not OCM’s focus. Option B is also incorrect; collecting workflow adjustment requirements is a technical or process owner task, not a communication duty of change management. In SAP OCM, communication tasks at go-live prioritize user enablement and support over external or technical adjustments.

“In the Deploy phase, change management executes communication activities such as user Q&A sessions and support announcements to reinforce adoption and address immediate post-go-live needs” (SAP Activate Methodology, Change Management Workstream, Deploy Phase).
