Adileh Mountain, Founder at Strat Scale Advisory, joins the Comparesoft ERP Podcast to explore what causes ERP programmes to go off the rails, what a real recovery plan looks like in practice, and why field adoption is the make-or-break factor in construction ERP.

Drawing on 15 years in construction and EPC operations and her experience leading ERP transformation and recovery work at Deloitte, Adileh explains how she diagnoses failing programmes, what construction firms actually need from ERP, and what leaders must get right to make transformation stick beyond go-live.

In this episode, Adileh talks about:

• What triggers the call for help, and who makes it (CFOs, COOs, and project directors)
• The 10 dimensions of implementation health she uses to diagnose a failing programme
• Why leadership absence and incomplete requirements are the most common root causes of failure
• A real recovery case: $4M in avoided costs and 85% field adoption on a programme six months behind schedule
• What construction firms actually need from ERP, and why field data capture is consistently underweighted
• Why field adoption is the single most important success factor in construction ERP
• What CFOs and COOs should do in the next 30 days if their programme is drifting
