The Uncomfortable Truth About ERP Failures
70% of ERP implementations fail to meet their original objectives. That's not a typo.
But here's what most consultants won't tell you: the software is rarely the problem.
The Real Culprits
1. Vendor-Led Design - System optimized for vendor's strengths, not your needs
2. Weak Business Requirements - Vague needs like "better reporting"
3. Process Chaos Baked In - Automating bad processes makes them faster, not better
4. Change Resistance - No adoption means no value
How to Actually Succeed
1. Design before digitize: Fix processes first
2. Own the requirements: Don't let vendors define needs
3. Invest in adoption: Budget 20-30% for change management
