Stuck ERP Project
For executives who suspect their ERP project is in more trouble than they're being told
Your project reports are green.
Your gut isn’t.
You don’t need another status update. You need an independent answer to one question: is this recoverable, and what would it actually take?
If any of this sounds familiar
- Every steering committee slide says “on track” — but the go-live date has already moved twice
- You ask a direct question and get a process answer
- Your PM works for the vendor, the integrator, or someone who has reason not to deliver bad news upward
- You’ve started keeping a private list of things that don’t add up
- You’re starting to wonder whether the problem is the technology, the people, or something neither of them will say out loud
None of this means you’ve failed. It means the people reporting to you have an incentive to keep telling you it’s fine.
Most ERP programs don’t fail suddenly. They drift quietly — while every report stays green.
By the time a project looks “stuck,” it has usually been drifting for months. Scope quietly narrowed. Risks quietly reclassified. Bad news quietly softened on its way up to you. Nobody lied — but nobody was incentivised to tell you the whole truth either.
The fix isn’t another status report. It’s someone with no stake in the vendor relationship, the PM’s reputation, or the next invoice — looking at what’s actually happening and telling you plainly.
The Executive Visibility Review
A fixed-scope, fixed-fee diagnostic. In a short, defined engagement, you get:
- An independent read on whether the project is recoverable — and what “recoverable” would actually require
- A clear separation of technology problems from governance problems (they are rarely the same thing, and the fix is different for each)
- A plain-language briefing you can take to your Board or Council, in their language, not the vendor’s
Not a takeover. Not a second opinion designed to sell you more services. Not a vendor audit dressed up as advisory. You stay in control of what happens next.
Why an independent read
SP Singh has spent 16 years inside ERP programs across WA local government and Aboriginal corporations — usually brought in at the point where the existing reporting could no longer be trusted at face value.
He holds no vendor relationships, sells no implementation services, and sits on WALGA’s advisory panel.
You work directly with SP — not a salesperson who hands you off to a delivery team once the contract’s signed. He’s seen this exact pattern enough times to know what to look for, and helps organisations get their project back on track fast.
One WA council brought SP in after 18 months of “on track” reporting that didn’t match what staff were experiencing on the ground.
SP has done this successfully, repeatedly.
“What if I’m wrong, and it’s actually fine?”
Then you’ll have an independent confirmation that costs far less than continuing to wonder — and you’ll have it in writing, from someone with nothing to sell you afterward. The Review is built for exactly this moment of uncertainty. You don’t need to be certain something is wrong to start one. You just need to no longer be certain it’s right.
You don’t need more reporting. You need an answer.
A confidential, no-obligation call to discuss what’s happening — and whether an Executive Visibility Review is the right next step.
