Our latest ERP projects have both come under budget and were delivered on time. But why do some ERP programmes move quickly while others spend months going around in circles? From our experience we’ve seen organisations trying to create a solution that works perfectly for every department, stakeholder and process. But the organisations that move fastest aren’t necessarily the most aligned at the start. They’re the ones willing to make decisions when alignment isn’t perfect. Successful ERP programmes aren’t about making everyone happy. They’re about making clear decisions and helping people understand why those decisions have been made.
