When Do We Know an ERP Project Is Failing?
The sooner we know, the better.
The first critical checkpoint is whether you’ve chosen the right ERP product and the right implementation partner. This decision has an outsized impact on the overall success of the project.
But here’s the trap: once the decision is made, it’s rarely revisited. We assume it was the right choice—until we’re faced with mounting issues and it’s too late. By then, the project may already be on the path to failure.
Projects can go wrong for many reasons, but the wrong product or partner is one of the most common—and most overlooked—causes. And unfortunately, it’s usually discovered only after significant time and money have been spent.
So, the real question is:
Are you willing to set aside ego and reassess your choices before you pour in more resources?
