Rescue Sprint

Turn your ERP or finance transformation from crisis to clarity, in 4 weeks.

When an ERP project stalls, confidence drops fast. Reports slip, teams blame systems, and leadership starts asking tough questions. It’s rarely a technology problem. It’s a delivery and alignment problem.

With the Rescue Sprint, you get four focused weeks to stabilise scope, rebuild governance, and get Finance and IT working together again.

When projects stall, silence becomes expensive.

ERP and finance transformations don’t collapse overnight, they drift.
Timelines slip, confidence fades, and suddenly, meetings are more about blame than progress.

Here’s what usually happens before I’m called in:

Finance and IT are no longer aligned, every update creates more confusion.
Vendors are running the agenda, not your internal teams.
Deadlines keep moving, but no one can say what’s actually holding things up.
Reports are late, inaccurate, or missing completely.
Leadership confidence is slipping, and every delay adds pressure.

When the noise grows louder than the plan, that’s where the Rescue Sprint steps in, to steady delivery, rebuild trust, and give your team back control.

That’s where What You’ll Gain begins, the shift from recovery to renewed momentum: clear governance, aligned teams, and a project that’s finally back under control.

What you’ll gain

Rescue projects aren’t about perfection. They’re about control, clarity, and credibility.
In four weeks, the Rescue Sprint brings order back to delivery and confidence back to the boardroom.

Immediate clarity
You’ll know exactly what’s blocking progress and how to fix it, no more hidden issues or guesswork.
Renewed confidence
Leadership and teams regain trust in the plan, the system, and each other.
Visible progress
Tangible movement within weeks, not just talk, but tracked, reported actions that show delivery is back on course.
Aligned delivery teams
Finance, IT, and vendors working to one plan, one language, and one timeline.
Reduced noise, faster decisions
Clear governance means fewer escalations, cleaner meetings, and faster resolutions.
Lasting momentum
The Rescue Sprint doesn’t just patch problems, it rebuilds a framework your team can sustain once the sprint ends.

→ Outcome: A project that’s back on track, teams refocused, and leadership confidence restored, without restarting the entire transformation.

FAQs

What we get asked frequently

What’s the purpose of the Rescue Sprint?

It’s designed to stabilise stalled ERP or finance transformation projects. In four weeks, we diagnose what’s gone off track, reset governance, and rebuild the bridge between Finance, IT, and vendors so the project can move forward with confidence.

When should we bring you in?

When timelines are slipping, ownership is unclear, or meetings feel circular. The earlier you act, the more momentum we can recover before costs or credibility spiral.

Is this a full reimplementation?

No, the Rescue Sprint works with your existing system and teams. The goal is to bring structure, clarity, and accountability back into what’s already in motion, not start over.

Who’s involved in the process?

Key leads from Finance, IT, and Operations. I facilitate the working sessions, align the plans, and produce clear actions and ownership for each stream.

What will we have by the end of the four weeks?

You’ll have a stabilised plan, a clear list of actions to progress the project, agreed ownership, and an executive summary that restores board confidence.

Can we extend support after the sprint?

Yes. Many clients continue with a Project Partner engagement once stability returns, ensuring delivery stays on course through to go-live and beyond.
