The Art of Building ERP Teams Across Phases: Readiness, Selection, and Implementation

Group

Jun 3rd, 2026 | 1 PM ET

ERP projects rarely fail because of software alone. Most failures begin much earlier. They often start with weak governance, unclear decision rights, and poorly structured teams. This webinar explores how organizations should build ERP teams across readiness, selection, and implementation phases. Additionally, it explains why team structures must evolve as transformation priorities change.

Next, the session breaks down the responsibilities, governance models, and stakeholder mix required at each ERP phase. Learn why readiness teams should remain technology-agnostic for as long as possible. Discover how to balance executive leadership, SMEs, consultants, architects, procurement, and implementation partners. Furthermore, understand how governance gaps create operational risk, delayed decisions, and uncontrolled customization.

Finally, this webinar examines the organizational and human dimensions of ERP transformation. Learn how successful companies balance internal ownership with external objectivity. Explore practical strategies for change management, escalation frameworks, taxonomy alignment, and future-state operating model design. Whether you are planning your first ERP initiative or restructuring an existing program, this session provides a practical framework for building scalable ERP transformation teams.
