Every one of us inherited the same ERP playbook. Long discovery phases. Documentation that ages faster than the business it describes. Requirements that were never quite pinned down, and the change requests that follow. Data migration nobody enjoys. Weekend go-live marathons. Delivery that varies depending on who happens to be on the project.

It has been the industry standard for decades, and most of us — me included in my last co — built our practices on it.

So, this isn't a session about what you're doing wrong. It's about what all of us inherited, and about one thing hiding inside it.

We'll walk through some of the most common ERP implementation failures. You'll recognise most of them. Then we'll make the case that they aren't 100 separate problems at all — they're symptoms of a single cause that almost nobody designs for. It isn't complexity, budget, or the calibre of your team.

Whether you've delivered fifty Business Central implementations or you're planning out your first, you'll leave with a clear way to think about it, five things you can change on Monday, and an honest account of where it doesn't apply. You'll also leave with the full list of 100.

Come and argue with me about it afterwards. That's the best outcome I could ask for.
