The Control Gap
Why ERP and transformation programmes lose control — and how leadership teams can get it back
Amazon #1 Best Seller in IT Project Management and Business Consulting
The Control Gap explores why ERP and transformation programmes can appear busy, active and well-governed while the business still lacks the ownership, control and decision discipline needed to deliver the intended outcomes.
The book is written for executives, transformation leaders, programme sponsors, business process owners and senior teams who need to understand why programmes drift — and what needs to be reset to recover control.
Available on Amazon worldwide.
About the book
The Control Gap examines the gap between programme activity and genuine business control.
Many programmes have active workstreams, regular governance meetings, supplier plans, delivery milestones and status reports. Yet beneath that activity, the organisation may still be unclear on ownership, decision rights, process accountability, readiness, adoption and value delivery.
That is the control gap.
The book covers:
• business ownership and decision rights
• operating model and process clarity
• governance that enables decisions rather than reporting activity
• ERP recovery and programme reset
• SI/vendor dependency and internal capability
• business readiness, adoption and value realisation
From insight to controlled delivery
The themes in The Control Gap reflect the work TAS does with organisations that need to regain control of ERP and enterprise transformation. If a programme is drifting, overly dependent on suppliers, unclear on ownership or struggling to translate activity into business outcomes, TAS can help establish the real position, reset what is not working and create a practical route back to controlled delivery.
