Why Do Many ERP Implementations Fail?
1. Lack of Top Management Commitment
3. Lack of Training
• Project Management
• Organizations link implementation teams to both the technical
(IS) and functional departments.
• They tightly control implementation processes
• They appropriately use consultants throughout the
implementation process
• They manage turnover of key implementation employees
• They have basic business reasons for implementation
• They align implementation with organizational strategies
ERP Implementation Practices

• Redesigned jobs call for higher levels of skills and accountability
• Change management is viewed as more than just increased
training and communication
• Enterprise-wide systems drive redesigned changes.
• The executive sponsor is the change agent.
• Resistance from the work force (including management) is the
most significant obstacle.
