18 How did we achieve success?

19 Research told us to expect surprises in implementing SAP 1. Your KPIs plummet & need to be rescued 2. It gets worse before it gets better 9 months of anarchy! 3. Software expectations are not fully met 4. You are now an ERP hostage 5. People are angry, confused & highly irritable 6. You discover that discipline is king 7. You think you know who owns the benefits you don t 8. You have re-engineered whether you planned to or not 9. People immediately forget everything they learned in training 10. Your entire project team is resigning en masse Michael Hammer
