| 
 | |
| We have seen dozens of ERP implementations over the past few years and we
 | |
| realize that successful implementation is a lot about intangibles and
 | |
| attitude.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **ERPs are not required.**
 | |
| 
 | |
| Like exercise.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Human body may seem like it does not require exercise today or even tomorrow,
 | |
| but in the long run, if you wish to maintain your body and its health, you
 | |
| should get on the treadmill.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In the same way, ERPs improve the health of your organization over a long run
 | |
| by keeping it fit and efficient. The more you delay putting things in order,
 | |
| the more time you lose, and the closer you get to a major disaster.
 | |
| 
 | |
| So when you start implementing an ERP, keep your sight on the long term
 | |
| benefits. Like exercise, its painful in the short run, but will do wonders if
 | |
| you stay on course.

| ## The Champion
 | |
| 
 | |
| ERP means organization wide change and it does not happen without effort.
 | |
| Every change requires a champion and it is the duty of the champion to
 | |
| organize and energize the entire team towards implementation. The champion
 | |
| needs to be resilient incase something goes wrong .
 | |
| 
 | |
| In many organizations we have seen, the champion is most often the owner or a
 | |
| senior manager. Occasionally, the champion is an outsider who is hired for a
 | |
| particular purpose.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In either case, you must identify your champion first.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Most likely it's **you!**
