#564 Why Does Everyone Hate SAP? The Truth About ERP Software and Leadership | Niels Brabandt

Why do so many people genuinely dislike SAP and other ERP systems, even though their organisation could not run without them? In this episode of The Leadership Podcast, leadership expert Niels Brabandt explains what ERP software actually has to achieve, why comparing it to Excel misses the point entirely, and why the real source of frustration is rarely the software itself. Niels Brabandt breaks down why there is no standard ERP product, why inadequate training is one of the biggest failure points in implementation, and how the floorwalker concept from his current work as an interim manager makes a measurable difference. He also explains why ERP projects can never be left to internal IT alone, and why active leadership engagement from board level down is essential. Essential listening for any business decision-maker planning, running or rescuing an ERP project.
