In this podcast episode of The ERP Perspective, Arne Buthmann addresses a recurring fault line in global ERP programmes: balancing global standardisation with genuine local ownership.
He explains why compliance at Go-Live often masks fragile adoption, why globally imposed templates fail to scale in practice, and how leaders can secure durable buy-in across regions without reopening core design decisions.
The discussion covers the structural difference between compliance and ownership, early-stage adoption strategies, practical ways to involve local entities, and leadership behaviours that reduce change fatigue, rework, and prolonged hypercare.
For transformation leaders leads managing multi-country or multi-entity ERP roll-outs, this episode provides concrete guidance on making global standards stick.
