How early training helps ERP projects avoid last-minute panic and boost adoption

Launching a big new system is exhilarating. A journey filled with incredible promise and potential for the entire business. But it can also stir up anxiety among teams. Especially if they’re unprepared for the incoming change. This is because (as we’ve said x1000 before) even the most advanced tech is only as powerful as the...

What a good ERP business case needs to include

What a good ERP business case needs to include

When organisations decide to invest in a new ERP system, the first step is building a business case. Too often, these documents end up as a collection of assumptions and cost figures, leaving leadership unsure why the project matters or what it will deliver. The first thing to understand is that an ERP business case...

Why strong IT leadership alone doesn't guarantee ERP implementation success

Why strong IT leadership alone doesn’t guarantee ERP implementation success

ERP implementation projects often start with IT in the driving seat. CIOs and IT directors are expected to build the business case, select vendors, shape the roadmap and oversee all technical aspects included in the change. This kind of leadership is essential, but even the strongest IT team can’t guarantee a smooth rollout when working alone. This is because every process (no...

7 Hidden risks that derail ERP projects more often than you think

ERP implementation projects are complex beasts. Most businesses plan meticulously for technical requirements and spend months debating budgets and timelines. Still, despite their best intentions, delays and frustrations happen. You might be thinking that these issues stem from the tech itself or an underperforming IT team, but the reality is often very different. The risks...

Conflicting ERP reports usually point to process issues rather than faulty tech. Learn how aligning teams and improving data practices helps your ERP deliver trusted, accurate insights.

If your ERP transformation has three versions of the truth, you have a process problem

Many ERP conversations start the same way. One team presents a set of numbers, while another challenges them. Finance shows one figure, operations another, and leadership is left trying to work out which version reflects reality. If this sounds familiar, you are far from alone. Conflicting reports rarely point to a failing system. They usually...

Accelerating User Adoption

Implementing new technology is more than teaching users how to navigate a system, it’s about embedding it into daily routines. While user training builds essential skills, true success lies in achieving user adoption, where employees see the technology as integral to their work.

The scariest sentence during a new tech implementation project?

“We’ve always done it this way.” Every company has heard it. Some leaders even say it themselves. It’s a phrase that feels safe, but in reality, it’s one of the biggest barriers to progress during a technology project. When a business decides to invest in a new ERP or other major system, the motivation typically...

Change resistance isn't always loud

Change resistance isn’t always loud

When it comes to change management in an ERP implementation, resistance is often misunderstood. Company owners or business leaders most likely picture vocal pushback. They think of that employee who challenges a decision in a meeting. Or the team that refuses to adopt a new tool. Maybe even the stakeholder who digs in their heels...

At the beginning of a tech project, especially something as big as an ERP implementation, the usual move is to start gathering requirements.

Stop collecting requirements. Start identifying what really needs to change

At the beginning of a tech project, especially something as big as an ERP implementation, the usual move is to start gathering requirements. Everyone makes a list of what they want the new system to do. That list gets handed to the implementation partner, and the expectation is that the end result will match how...

ERP testing

Why ERP testing matters more than you think

Think of ERP testing like a dress rehearsal before a stage performance. Regardless of the months you spent preparing, writing the script, setting the stage and training your cast, unless you’ve run through the show properly, under real conditions, you’re leaving too much to chance when the curtain rises. It’s the same for a new...

Common mistakes to avoid at the start of ERP implementation programmes

Common mistakes to avoid at the start of ERP implementation programmes

Think of an ERP programme like building a house. You can have the most expensive materials, the best tools and the most intricately designed plan. But if the foundations are off, it doesn’t matter how beautifully designed the rest of the building is. Sooner or later, your house is bound to crack. Doors won’t close properly and walls might...

Why good change management needs rhythm, not just a plan

Change is never easy. Even when new systems are designed to simplify workflows or make day-to-day life easier, the reality is, people resist change.  That’s why change management exists. To help teams actively adopt and embrace new systems, processes or technologies. And while every successful change management plan includes strategy, training, and structure, what often...

Why Tech Transformations or Implementations Need to Be Human-Centred

When it comes to large-scale ERP implementations and other technology transformations, it’s easy to focus on the systems, the software and the processes. These are all important for success, of course, but the most successful transformations don’t just hinge on the technical bits. They thrive because they are human-centred.  At BR One, we believe in...
