As we known by now, ERP programs are major investments a company makes, yet many still fall short of expectations. After go-live, daily work feels heavier, hypercare stretches into months, and business users begin to ask why the new solution seems more complicated than the old one. The problem isn’t Read more
The “definition” phase of ERP projects has become stuck in old patterns — repeating the same steps without asking whether this work still creates value. As lean thinking reminds us, much of this effort is muda – non–value-adding activity done simply because “that’s how it’s always been done.” Most ERP projects still Read more
