Cefora embarked on its digital transformation in 2019. Their goal was to implement a digital training platform for 500,000 employees under Joint Committee 200. They had established a roadmap and selected several tools. However, by 2023, the conclusion was that the digital transformation had failed. They then asked themselves various questions: Did they have the right people to lead the project? Did they have the right methodology? Had they chosen the right tools?

The answers were negative, leading to a significant shift. It was in this context that Cefora encountered Odoo.

This presentation aims to shed light on the best practices of digital transformation that allowed us to successfully complete this project.
