Phase 0: Where SAP programmes are won or lost

May 27th 2026 | 10am - 11am

SAP S/4HANA programmes are under pressure like never before.

With ECC deadlines approaching and expectations rising, organisations are being asked to move faster, spend smarter, and deliver clearer outcomes. Yet despite the investment, many programmes still overrun, underdeliver, or struggle to land the value they were designed to create.

What separates the programmes that succeed from those that don’t is rarely the technology. It’s what happens before delivery begins.

What to expect

This webinar focuses on a critical but often underestimated stage of SAP transformation: Phase 0.

We’ll explore why this early stage consistently determines whether programmes stay in control, or drift into cost, scope, and delivery challenges later on.

You’ll leave with a sharper understanding of:

Why SAP programmes so often run into avoidable issues
What’s typically missing at the point of mobilisation
How early-stage decisions shape downstream cost, timelines, and outcomes
The key signals that indicate whether your programme is set up for success, or risk
