ERP Conflict Resolution: Building Stakeholder Alignment With Evolving Priorities
Aug 12th, 2026 | 1 PM ET
ERP implementations often create conflict because they force organizations to rethink processes, roles, ownership, and decision-making. Manual processes can hide misalignment, but ERP systems expose gaps across departments, priorities, and business requirements. As organizations balance executive expectations, user needs, process standardization, and technology constraints, effective ERP conflict resolution becomes critical for successful transformation.
In this webinar, we explore the most common ERP implementation conflicts and how leaders can diagnose the real causes behind disagreements. We discuss how to separate stakeholder positions from underlying business interests, use process models and data to support objective decisions, and create governance structures that prevent recurring debates. Attendees will learn practical techniques to improve collaboration between business teams, executives, vendors, and system integrators.
Finally, we introduce a practical ERP conflict resolution framework to help organizations diagnose issues, clarify priorities, evaluate trade-offs, make decisions, and maintain alignment throughout the ERP journey. By applying structured conflict management approaches, organizations can reduce implementation risk, improve stakeholder engagement, and build stronger foundations for long-term ERP success.
