ERP Failures: Executive Lessons
ERP systems rarely fail; strategies do. Disasters like SAAQ ($1.1B), Lamb Weston ($135M), and Nike ($100M lost sales) happen due to organizational errors, not software bugs.4 Critical Pitfalls:
- Weak Ownership: Handing total accountability to vendors causes misalignment.
- Rushed Timelines: Arbitrary deadlines sacrifice vital testing and training phases.
- Over-Customization: Forcing new tech to mimic messy legacy systems inflates costs.
- Data Blindspots: Cutting over without validating data destroys post-launch visibility.
