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...

Incompetence in the Executive Suite

Incompetence in the Executive Suite We rarely use the word incompetence for executives. It sounds too blunt for people with the right titles, the right degrees, the right number of years behind their name. So we find softer words instead — bandwidth, style,...

Convince people to act on rational things!

Who have I lost to most of the time in my life?

I asked myself: Who have I lost to most of the time in my life? It didn’t take long to realise that I have often lost to myself. I lost when I didn’t keep my promise to commit. I lost when I wavered from the decisions I made. I lost when I knowingly distracted myself,...
