# 34 An ERP implementation is like a heart surgeryAn ERP is by its straightforward meaning „Enterprise Re-source Planning“ in most cases the core system to maintain your business processes. Implementing this or deeply changing it is like an open-heart surgery. You need to be aware of the risks, the work ahead but also having the confidence that the implementation will be successful. Therefore, one of the fun-damentals is to have a team you trust and rely on. Not only on your direct reports, also on the extended internals and includ-ing external resources like business partners or freelancers. If you don’t have faith in them, you will fail. You need to have people who are not only committed but going beyond com-mitment! They need to be dedicated to the work it takes. Give your team the space they need. If you give them the space and freedom they will go beyond what work means.  Most of these projects you can’t steer with a 9 to 5 / 5 days/week work rhythm.  There are waves, ups and downs like a surfer you have to follow their rhythm, and some you can skip but others you have to ride.It’s like always a fully unscripted recording ! Happy to get your feedbacks! If you liked .. spread the news !If you can’t wait for next week www.pibeco.com/bookIf you want to support me coindrop.to/Pirmin or  www.buymeacoffee.com/pirminIT - ERP - Projects 33 years of experience - 99 thoughts - 66 minutes to read: Not Another How To Book, available on Amazon. Support the showwww.pibeco.com/book
