Most ERP programmes are won or lost before the software is even chosen. This ten minute check tells you whether your business is actually ready to start.
Why this exists. The expensive ERP mistakes are rarely about the technology. They are about starting before the data is trustworthy, before the business case is clear, or before the organisation is genuinely willing to change how it works. A new system built on old problems just runs the old problems faster.
This assessment checks the twelve conditions that most reliably separate an ERP programme that delivers from one that overruns, across four areas. For an independent view tested against your own evidence, see our ERP readiness review.
Please answer every question so the score reflects the whole picture.
The cheapest time to fix an ERP readiness gap is now, before contracts are signed and momentum takes over. Christopher Fagan has led major ERP and platform programmes, including a global ERP and Microsoft Dynamics estate for BP. A short, confidential conversation will tell you where to focus first.
Book a confidential readiness reviewThis is a starting point, not a full readiness review. It cannot see your data or sit in your governance for a week. Treat a green as encouragement, and an amber or red as a prompt to look harder before you spend.
