Many universities such as Stanford University and University of Massachusetts-Amherst experienced the “less spoken” aspects of ERP implementation – the failures.
During the start of the fall semester, UMass […]-
It seems strange for an enterprise as large as a major university to have a single go-live day for a major ERP system. Due to the scope that an ERP entails, phased implementation makes a lot more sense. For instance, have a select group of students use the new system. The reason these universities might have done the implementation the way that they did was to reduce cost.

I’m surprised they had the go-live date so close to the beginning of classes. Was this the first time the system had experienced full stress? I agree with Michael — having a singular class or group test it on a smaller scale first would give the team a sense of how well the system runs under pressure. I think not having a back-up plan was the real killer here, however — the failure would not have been so catastrophic if there had been another, well-versed system to pick up where the failed ERP left off.

I think Meg Whitman, previously the CEO of ebay, could be classified as an integrative thinker. When she was first brought on as CEO for the company, she used salience to determine all of the variables relevant to transforming ebay into a major e-commerce corporation. This led her to splitting the company into 23 business categories, which then had thousands of subcategories. I think this goes to show that she wasn’t affraid of the complexity that comes with integrative thinking. I believe she also used causality to dertermine the multidirectional relationships between variables when creating the different subcategories. Her success as CEO shows when considering the fact that she started with about 30 employees to perform all processes across the company, yet by the time she stepped down, the company had grown to over 15,000.
