How to Build an ERP Project Decision Framework: The Missing Blueprint for ERP Success

Group

Jul 1st, 2026 | 1 PM ET

Selecting an ERP system is only the beginning. The real challenge lies in making hundreds of critical decisions throughout the implementation. Many ERP projects fail because organizations lack a structured decision framework. Instead, they rely on assumptions, personal preferences, or vendor recommendations. Without consistent governance, stakeholders pursue conflicting priorities. As a result, projects experience delays, cost overruns, unnecessary customization, and missed business objectives.

In this webinar, we will show you how to build an ERP project decision framework that improves governance from planning through go-live. You will learn how to categorize decisions based on business risk, assign clear ownership, and establish decision principles before vendor selection begins. We will also examine practical frameworks for evaluating business processes, data, integrations, financial trade-offs, and technology choices. Along the way, you will discover how structured governance reduces implementation risk while improving long-term scalability and AI readiness.

Whether you are preparing for ERP selection or managing an active implementation, this session provides practical tools you can apply immediately. You will leave with repeatable decision matrices, governance models, implementation roadmaps, and proven best practices that improve transparency and accountability. Instead of reacting to project issues, your organization will learn how to make consistent, business-driven decisions that increase the likelihood of ERP success.
