Assess the quality of a claim
- Check who collected the data, when, how and from which population.
- Distinguish a vendor opinion from independently verified findings.
- Avoid applying global averages directly to local organisations.

PRACTICAL FIELD GUIDE
What matters in research & insights
Use the guidance below to frame the right questions, set clear responsibilities and move from discussion to a practical next step. Adapt each recommendation to your organisation's policies, regulatory obligations and current systems.
Study operational signals
- Compare process cycle time, manual rework and data reconciliation effort.
- Investigate whether problems arise from policy, training, system design or data quality.
- Document baseline measures before starting transformation.
Turn findings into decisions
- State the hypothesis, evidence, constraints and expected business effect.
- Run a small pilot before a high-cost deployment.
- Revisit the result after adoption to see whether the expected improvement occurred.
DEEPER PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
Evaluate ERP claims with stronger evidence
Use the following steps to turn this topic into an actionable internal discussion. Adapt them to your organisation’s size, industry, controls and existing systems.
Define the question
Distinguish whether you are measuring cost reduction, data quality, speed of close, customer response or control effectiveness.
Inspect the methodology
Check the sample size, respondent selection, date, geography, definitions and whether a vendor sponsored the research.
Compare like with like
Separate businesses by industry, size, maturity and deployment model before generalising a reported result.
Test the finding locally
Use a small operational pilot with baseline and post-change measures rather than relying on an external percentage.
What your team should produce
Publish only findings supported by attributable sources and documented methods; otherwise present them as hypotheses to validate.
