Your board wants it delivered faster. Your SI wants more governance. Something has to give — but it doesn't have to be control.
Every S/4HANA programme is under pressure to move faster than ever. The risk is that speed and governance get treated as opposites. They are not — but getting the balance wrong in either direction kills programmes. This webinar is a practical conversation about where the line is, and how to stay on the right side of it.
What this webinar covers
-
Limelight founder Brian Lavery talks through the governance challenge at the heart of every accelerated ERP programme:
-
Why speed has become non-negotiable — and why that pressure is not going away
-
The real cost of too much governance — when control becomes the thing that derails the programme
-
The real cost of too little — what happens when programmes move fast without the right guardrails
-
What 'appropriate' governance looks like — not a methodology, a judgement call shaped by your programme context
-
How to accelerate delivery without surrendering oversight — the practical steps that let you move fast and stay in control
Why governance is a Business Integrator question
Most governance frameworks are designed to protect the delivery partner — not the client. They create accountability structures that justify their own delivery approach and make it harder, not easier, for your organisation to challenge decisions, change direction, or hold the programme to account.
Governance that serves the client looks different. It is leaner, clearer, and gives the executive team — not the programme team — real visibility and real control. That is what a Business Integrator builds. Not bureaucracy. Accountability.
