ERP RESCUE ROOM: Key Warning Signs of ERP Failure: How to Detect Risk and Recover Your Project

Register here to get the ERP Rescue Kit now and receive the recording by email after the live session. 

ERP projects are complex, multi-disciplinary initiatives. Issues can surface in any workstream, from governance and data to adoption, process design, and integrations. Running a pulse check is one thing, but managing risk and handling issues before they become business problems is another. 

In this session, Pemeco Managing Director Jonathan Gross leads a discussion with Chris Eidt, who has held leadership positions at large media, advertising, and industrial companies, including as CIO of a global industrial equipment manufacturer and services provider, and Adriana Goodmanson, Principal Consultant at Pemeco, who leads and recovers large-scale ERP projects. 

Together, they will unpack real patterns observed across hundreds of ERP implementations, including how experienced leaders interpret program health when reporting is overly optimistic, evaluate recovery paths under pressure, and frame tough recommendations to Steering Committees and Boards of Directors. 

What You’ll Learn 

  • How to identify warning signs that an ERP project is at risk  
  • How to interpret program health signals when reports look too rosy  
  • Practical options to address major risks and issues

AGENDA

Opening Remarks

Set the context for why ERP programs drift, why leaders often do not see the full picture, and what hidden failure signals look like before issues escalate. 

Early Warning Signals of ERP Drift

Review the patterns that show up when ERP programs begin to lose alignment across governance, data readiness, adoption, process design, and integrations, including signals executives and project leaders often overlook.

Where Risk Is Actually Hiding

Learn how experienced CIOs and ERP advisors investigate troubled programs, what evidence they look for, and how they distinguish between vendor performance, governance breakdowns, scope instability, and readiness gaps.

Handling Major Issues and Making Tough Calls

Explore practical options for responding when risks surface, including how leaders evaluate tradeoffs and make recommendations to Steering Committees and Boards of Directors when no recovery path is perfect. 

Q&A and Real-World Scenarios

Hear questions raised by attendees and practical guidance from the panel on common execution challenges, decision points, and recovery options.
