Excerpt from the Handbook
Chapter 2: ERP Project Preparations
A successful ERP transformation is not an IT initiative—it is a business transformation that begins well before any technology decisions are made. The true foundation is laid in the preparation phase, where strategic intent, scope, and organisational readiness are aligned across business leadership. This is the point where the enterprise must define what it aims to achieve, how it will operate differently, and what level of change it is prepared to lead.
Too often, this phase is rushed or treated as a technical preamble rather than a business-critical activity. The result is misaligned expectations, unclear ownership, and plans that do not reflect the organisation’s real capacity or priorities. The cost of underpreparing is not just delays and budget overruns—it’s the failure to realise the transformation’s intended business value.
Typical pitfalls in project preparation
From a business standpoint, the seeds of ERP project failure are often sown before the project even formally begins. The preparation phase is where strategic clarity, resource alignment, and process ownership must be firmly established. When this foundation is weak or rushed, the transformation is at risk of drifting off course.
Three common pitfalls regularly undermine the critical preparation phase:
The “back against the wall” scenario
Scope overload
Lack of process understanding
