Impetus Team

Impetus is a senior-led advisory firm partnering with boards, investors and executive teams during periods of growth, transition and complexity. Every engagement is delivered by experienced operators focused on execution, governance and measurable outcomes, staying through implementation until delivery risk is reduced and performance improves.

The assessment runs over approximately five consulting days across two to three weeks, in five steps:

1. Business and ERP Discovery: working sessions with leadership and key users to understand priorities, decisions, reporting needs, manual workarounds and repetitive processes.
2. ERP and Data Assessment: a focused technical review of your ERP platform, data sources, data quality, integration routes, and security and governance considerations.
3. AI Opportunity Identification: practical AI applications drawn from your own needs, such as management reporting, variance analysis, forecasting, inventory and purchasing analysis, working capital, and natural-language querying of ERP data.
4. Opportunity Prioritisation: each opportunity is assessed against business value, feasibility, readiness and risk.
5. Proof of Value Definition: the top-priority opportunity is developed into a defined first use case, followed by a management playback.

• AI for ERP Opportunity Map: a focused set of practical AI opportunities across the business.
• ERP and AI Readiness Assessment: the data, technology, governance and organisational factors affecting implementation.
• Prioritisation Matrix: opportunities scored on value, feasibility, readiness and risk.
• Recommended Proof of Value: a clearly defined first use case with benefits, success measures, required data and key controls.
• AI for ERP Roadmap: a Now, Next and Later sequence showing what to invest in, defer or not pursue.
