Fast-track to ROI

Fast-track to ROI

An exclusive in‑person event

Unlock clarity, reduce risk, and accelerate value.

Wednesday 18th March 2026 | 10:00am - 2:00pm | London Transport Museum, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7BB

ERP transformation remains one of the highest‑stakes investments, there’s a lot of noise around it, and there’s a lot of projects that have derailed. Too often we see programmes that have suffered from unclear scope, unreliable estimates, data challenges, and delayed value realisation. 

Hosted by Delaware, a trusted Microsoft partner, this exclusive event brings business leaders together for a half‑day of practical, expert-led roundtable discussions designed to replace ambiguity with actionable clarity so that you can accelerate value and embark on your transformation journey with confidence. 


We’ve never walked away from a project, and we’ve been brought in to help plenty get back on track.
