The Why Behind Our Tips

In the following article, I make the case for why these top 3 tips are crucial action steps for your organization. We call it “turning resovolutions into action.” For 25+ years I have been watching ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) implementations go live that are half-baked at best. This has created massive headaches, risks, and audit findings for organizations. The issues are systemic, and management needs to be diligent to avoid them.
