ERP programmes rarely fail overnight. Warning signs typically emerge long before a programme reaches a critical point — missed milestones, unresolved decisions, growing delivery backlogs, supplier friction, inadequate testing, unclear ownership, escalating costs or diminishing confidence from leadership.
Our ERP Project Rescue & Recovery service provides targeted intervention for programmes that are underperforming, significantly delayed, experiencing delivery challenges, or approaching a critical milestone without sufficient confidence.
We rapidly assess the situation, identify what is preventing progress, establish a practical recovery strategy, and work alongside programme leadership to restore momentum.
Diagnose the problem. Stabilise the programme. Rebuild the path to delivery.
When an ERP programme starts to lose control, decisive intervention matters.
Early intervention can provide greater scope for recovery.
However, we can be engaged at any point where leadership believes the programme requires independent intervention — from emerging delivery concerns through to programmes approaching a critical milestone.
Typical engagement points include:
Before a programme becomes critical
When warning signs are emerging but significant recovery options remain available.
During significant delivery disruption
When milestones, workstreams or dependencies are materially affecting progress.
Before a major go-live decision
When leadership requires an independent view of whether the programme is genuinely ready.
Following a failed milestone
When the programme requires a structured reset and credible route forward.

A focused assessment of the current position to establish a fact-based view of the programme.

Restructuring priorities, clarifying ownership, resetting delivery expectations, addressing critical dependencies and establishing short-term controls.

We work to track recovery actions, challenge slippage, resolve blockers and maintain focus on the agreed recovery objectives
Our intervention can be tailored to the specific circumstances of the programme.

A rapid independent assessment establishing the current position, critical problems and immediate recovery priorities.

Reviewing the programme's critical path, dependencies and milestones to establish a realistic route towards key outcomes.

Re-establishing priorities, ownership, sequencing and delivery expectations where the existing approach is no longer effective.
Our intervention can be tailored to the specific circumstances of the programme.

Targeted intervention where testing, defect resolution, readiness or cutover preparation has fallen behind.

Structured intervention where implementation partner performance, delivery expectations or accountability have become areas of concern.

Providing senior programme leadership and decision support during periods of significant delivery pressure.
Ongoing support to execute the recovery plan and transition the programme back towards controlled delivery.
