Leadership Under Pressure: What Sport Taught Me About ERP Delivery

There are a ton more parallels between elite sport and high-pressure transformation programmes than people believe - or even see at first glance. Both operate under scrutiny, involve high stakes decisions made with incomplete information and both fail when preparation is weak, roles are unclear and accountability disappears under pressure.

Using case studies, this session will show how high performance principles from elite sport translate directly into ERP leadership, particularly when delivery pressure is high. It explores the leadership failure points that tend to surface as programmes come under strain, and how preparation, role clarity and decision making shape outcomes in practice. Attendees will gain practical habits they can apply immediately across Business Central and wider ERP programmes, and learn to reframe pressure not as something to avoid, but as a signal that highlights where leadership and control need to be strengthened.

This session draws on lessons learned from professional sport and applies them directly to ERP delivery and transformation leadership. Not as metaphor for the sake of it, but as practical guidance for partners leading complex programmes where time, money and reputation are on the line. This is not a motivational talk, but more of a grounded, experience-led look at what actually holds when pressure hits and what falls apart.
