The ERP Perspective: The CFO Mindset Shift - Mobilising the C-Suite and Board to Turn ERP into a Value Engine with Rui Teixeira

In this episode of The ERP Perspective, I sit down with Rui Teixeira → Fractional CFO in Life Sciences and a leader helping organisations transform ERP dread into ERP confidence.Rui brings a rare perspective, sitting at the intersection of finance, leadership, culture, and transformation and challenges many of the assumptions organisations still make about ERP.His message is clear:👉 ERP doesn’t fail because of software.👉 It fails because leaders don’t frame it as a value engine.We cover:• Why ERP is still positioned as an IT or finance project and why that’s a mistake• How CFOs can translate ERP into a board-level value story around cash, risk, growth, and scalability• What leaders must do in the first 90 days to build excitement instead of scepticism• Why culture, communication, and visibility matter more than process maps• How ERP underpins data quality and why AI can’t succeed without itRui also shares real-world stories from the trenches, including what happens when leadership alignment is missing, and how clarity from the top can turn a struggling programme around overnight.This episode is for:✔️ CFOs and finance leaders✔️ CIOs and transformation sponsors✔️ CEOs navigating ERP decisions✔️ Anyone trying to de-risk or reset an ERP programmeFollow The ERP Perspective for more conversations that cut through ERP noise and focus on what really drives success.
