Why Is It So Hard to Deliver a Successful ERP Project?

Why Is It So Hard to Deliver a Successful ERP Project? If you're a project sponsor, you've probably asked this question at least once: "We hired good people, bought good software, so why is this ERP project still struggling?" Here's the honest answer: ERP projects are...

The Drama Is Real. It Isn’t The Whole Story.

The Drama Is Real. It Isn't The Whole Story. Watch an executive get defensive in a steering committee. Someone asks a direct question about the go-live date, and the sponsor's jaw tightens, the voice sharpens, the justification arrives before the question has finished...
