Independent stop and fix review and recovery of ERP and transformation programmes that are over budget or late.

– A clear, evidence-based view of where the programme really stands and why

– A practical recovery plan the executive can make decisions on

– Scope refocused on must-have and should-have outcomes

– Working delivery processes between internal teams and partners

– Governance and controls that give early warning of problems

I start with an independent stop and fix review of the programme, its structure and its delivery partners. I then present evidence-based recommendations to the executive, agree a re-baselined scope and plan, and put in place the delivery processes and governance needed to recover. Where the client wants it, I stay on to lead the recovery and build the delivery team. Timescales depend on the size and state of the programme.

– An executive sponsor with authority to make decisions

– Access to programme documentation, the team and delivery partners

– Hands-on support to implement the recovery, not just a report

– Stop and fix review and findings

– Recovery recommendations covering project and system structure
