How to Avoid ERP Failure | Mitigating ERP Implementation Risk

ERP failures occur for many of the same reasons - not due to coincidence or things outside of your control. There are a handful of key things you can do to avoid ERP failure. This video covers the strategies and tactics every organization should be deploying as part of their digital transformation and ERP implementation risk mitigation frameworks.
The video also takes a deep-dive look into the risk mitigation frameworks we use to help clients manage the risks of ERP implementations. This framework has been developed and stress-tested over years of recovering failed ERP implementations and examining ERP failures as part of our ERP expert witness practice.
Finally, the online ERP implementation risk assessment tool below is something you can use to determine the risk level of your digital transformation. It also provides recommendations on how to mitigate your ERP implementation risks and get your project back on track.

One of the very best videos I’ve ever seen!

[@cb3893]

The info from Eric is easily the most helpful from any online resource I’ve found on Digital Transformation.

[@kilianonline]

I've been binging your videos all week learning and reinforcing new and existing principles. I am definitely a better analyst and see things a lot more clearly. Thank you sir for everything.

[@LouisianaLeigh]

This was a mini masterclass. Thank you. Slogging through Sage platforms for guidance as a small business in a stalemate, I needed this. Thank you.

[@BizAutomation]

Great work Eric... As a small business expert, I'd say the list for a smaller business the list is a bit different. The biggest reason I see for failure over th years, is that a lack of expectation alignment. Defining what "success" means, is absolutely key. Second is a commitment by clients to invest their time to a schedule. Can't have a go-live timeline if you're not willing to commit time to make it happen. It's not just the implementation team that plays a role, it's a 2 way street. This has to be nailed down during the implementation agreement.

[@debracvitkovich5751]

Honestly, I feel smarter with each video! Looking at growing my career down change management path into retirement (20+ yes away)... you are a great teacher!!

[@bartomiejsakowicz6177]

Beside that video is very prof. & easy to follow this is really Inspiring! Lots of solid information to consider and good start to any ERP project. I was laughing at the end, “best practice does not exists”. So true!

[@malsaso]

[@pepitoagustin5356]

It was great to learn from a well-knowledgeable of the ERP. Thank you.

[@lavanyakaliappan8035]

Great Video on failures, I can relate with my project experience. Thanks

[@rdcaceres]

Thank you very much for this super rich experience you shared. Best Regard.

[@alfredolouiebrian980]

I've been implementing systems, hearing this is of great value to me.

[@mrd9911]

Many thanks for this video Eric. This is a real world check list that I use i my ERP projects. But as you know it is not always easy to implement them. The business driven aspect is a tricky part since a project mgr often takes over a project after the technology has been selected.
The other tricky part is the integration specially with those system that are under development or with the legacy system that you can't find either right documentation o people who knows them.
All the best!

[@newy2353]

Thanks for this clear explanations, its very useful

[@shankarm5353]

Thanks for the valuable content sir ...looking forward to hear more from you sir...

[@AMEENHAI]

i like your advice " you are in charge of your transformation" because this kind of process is always under heavy pressure from other parties to take the lead from your hands under different allegations most of which is technical

[@erickimberling]

Hi Ameen, I agree - too many people ignore this problem!

[@Jean-guy714]

Excellent presentation! well delivered and informative. Perfect cadence,

[@erickimberling]

Thank you kindly!

[@breaunawilliams267]

Sound Advice, wish more companies would approach more implementations in this manner.

[@erickimberling]

Thank you, BreAuna...I agree!

[@davidkadeh2707]

[@erickimberling]

Thank you David!

Nice iknow this business specialises myself the digital business development services

[@davidmhdjkedbek]

The implementation risk assessment tool link is not working

[@sharmisthaiyer3632]

As per my experience Business driven projects generally end up with cost escalations. There has to be a balance between technology and business drivers.

[@shilpadolas9675]

Yes, managing expectation around time, scope, budget are key , need a steely PM at times to say NO to client.

[@trailerpartsunlimited]

link does not work
