Lessons from High-Profile ERP Collapses and Lawsuits

Explore the hidden causes behind catastrophic ERP failures through this live podcast episode featuring expert witness testimony and courtroom evidence from high-profile litigation cases. Join Eric Kimberling and Fred Hessler, Director of Expert Witness practice at Third Stage Consulting, as they analyze real failure patterns that emerge only when lawyers, judges, and auditors investigate ERP disasters. Discover how leadership decisions, rather than technology issues, typically trigger organizational collapse and learn to identify the early warning signs that executives routinely overlook until it's too late. Examine the fundamental misunderstandings around best practices, governance, and accountability that lead to project derailment, and understand why system integrators, vendors, and clients often misattribute blame. Gain insights into the root causes that surface exclusively through forensic project reviews and legal proceedings—information that traditional post-mortems and vendor case studies never reveal. Learn how ERP failures destroy not just projects but entire careers and organizations, and understand the critical patterns that keep repeating across industries. Access evidence-based analysis drawn from arbitration cases, lawsuits, and expert witness testimonies to protect your organization from becoming the next cautionary tale in digital transformation.
