5 Management Mistakes That Will Sabotage your ERP Implementation

January 16 2014

As an ERP implementation expert, I'm used to offering advice on how to make your company's implementation a success. But for a moment, I'd like to talk about failure. Even with all of my experience and expertise, there are ways that my client companies can so thoroughly undermine the implementation process that the only way to dig ourselves out is through more money and time than anyone is willing to spend.

While I agree that many projects do fail, the paper you mentioned disputes the 70% failure rate. Check out the The Standish Group (there are lots of other reports, this is the first one on the search) and the reputers of the Standish Group report in this article. Standish would say 20 to 30% of projects fail and 30 to 35% succeeding and the balance are challenged. The article referenced below take Standish Group to task. http://www.cs.vu.nl/~x/chaos/chaos.pdf The point of this comment is that essentially the same as what you are saying, it is important to plan, etc. - but also to say that it is important to make sure that you understand what your sources of information are saying and how what they are saying applies to your situation. Thanks for taking the time to write your article. Ron Ketterling Business Automation Specialists of MN, Inc.
