Do you know who they are?

September 13, 2009

The majority of organizational changes fail because of cultural or organizational dynamics; not because of a flawed plan. Take for example ERP (Enterprise Resource Package) software implementations. According to the Panorama Consulting Group in a 2009 report: • Only 7% of ERP projects finish on time • 68% of ERP projects took “much longer” than [...]
