When the programme is in trouble, you need independence - not more of the same.
Tequma provides independent recovery leadership for SAP and Salesforce programmes that have drifted, and CIO-level value recovery for IT that has become too expensive, fragmented or slow. Both start the same way: a rapid, evidence-based diagnosis separate from anyone with a stake in the answer, followed by a recovery plan the board can actually trust. On one European energy provider, this recovered €35M of value and brought the transformation back under executive control.
Who this is for
Boards, CIOs and sponsors watching a SAP or Salesforce transformation drift - budget, timeline or confidence - where the question is whether to recover it, reset it, or stop. Also CIOs whose IT cost base, sourcing model or platform complexity has become an enterprise-value issue in its own right, not tied to a single failing programme.
Signs you need a recovery intervention
- Go-live has slipped more than once - and nobody can say with confidence why
- The steering committee receives status reports it no longer trusts
- Budget forecasts are revised upwards every quarter
- The implementation partner is marking its own homework
- Key decisions stall because leadership lacks an independent view
How the first four weeks look
Week 1 - independent diagnosis
A rapid, evidence-based read on scope, plan, governance, vendor performance and true delivery risk - carried out separately from anyone with a stake in the answer.
Weeks 2-3 - the recovery plan
Re-baselined milestones, reset governance, and clear decision points and accountability - a plan the board can actually trust, not a repainted version of the old one.
Week 4 onward - senior leadership through the turn
Tequma stays above the build, steering the recovery and holding all parties to the plan, without competing with or replacing the implementation partner.
What the board gets
A recovery plan the board can trust:
- ✓Re-baselined milestones and reset governance.
- ✓Clear decision points and named accountability.
- ✓Senior leadership through the turn, above the build.
What this covers
Two related problems, reviewed together because most engagements that reach this hub need one or the other, occasionally both.
SAP and Salesforce programme recovery
- Independent diagnosis of scope, plan, governance, vendor performance and true delivery risk
- A recovery plan the board can trust: re-baselined milestones, reset governance, clear decision points and accountability
- Senior leadership through the turn, above the build, never competing with the implementation partner
IT value recovery and operating-model reset
- IT cost and value diagnostics
- Future operating-model and sourcing design
- Governance, decision rights and KPI/SLA models
- Platform rationalisation and a 100-day mobilisation plan
The output: measurable cost-reduction opportunities, stronger business-IT governance and accountability, improved service performance, and a practical 100-day execution roadmap - not generic cost-cutting.
