“I bring structure, calm and control to ERP journeys — and make sure people are genuinely on board with the change.”

Stefaan De Muynck is an experienced Senior IT Project Manager with over 25 years of expertise in ERP selection, business analysis, implementations and change management.

He works in a precise, methodical and results-driven way, helping organisations make complex transformation journeys workable step by step, with clear agreements and strong business ownership.

Throughout his career, Stefaan has consistently operated at the intersection of business and IT, with one clear guiding principle: making sure change does not get stuck in plans, workshops and discussions — but is actually implemented.

He is known for his clear communication, ability to connect people and create ownership , even in organisations where teams historically operate in silos or where “ERP fatigue” exists due to previous failed initiatives.

“Human change is one of my core strengths. Collaboration — and especially getting people to collaborate.”

Where Stefaan makes the difference

1) ERP journeys that truly land in the organisation

Stefaan’s strength lies in the true core of ERP : not the software, but the organisational change around it.

He excels when you need someone who:

• genuinely brings the business along
• sharpens and simplifies processes
• closely manages the implementation partner
• takes ownership of go-live and hypercare
• ensures teams remain owners long after delivery

“AX2012 was seen as just an accounting system… there was no ownership. You had to bring people into the implementation.”

2) Vendor selection without lock-in or theatre

Stefaan has extensive experience in ERP selection processes, from audit and RFP to PoC, evaluation and contract preparation.

He consistently protects the client’s interests by focusing on:

• correct scope definition
• realistic fit/gap analysis
• proof of concept with clear criteria
• avoiding customisation where standard solutions are better

3) The bridge between leadership and the shop floor

One of the strongest signals about Stefaan is how easily he switches between levels:

“I’ve heard people say: you’re one of the only ones who can talk to both the CEO and the warehouse worker.”

This makes him extremely valuable in SMEs, where transformation often only succeeds when there is trust, clarity and calm throughout the journey.

• Microsoft Dynamics Business Central
