ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) implementations are notoriously complex and unforgiving. They involve massive financial commitments, cross-departmental coordination, and high executive visibility. Yet even the most promising projects can slip off track, quietly draining time, money, and morale. That’s why Corbeau created a solution to help organizations regain control—fast.
Introducing the $4K ERP Rapid Rescue Assessment: a four-day, fixed-fee, rapid-response service designed to pinpoint what’s going wrong and deliver a clear, actionable plan to fix it—before the costs spiral out of control.
Why This Matters Now
When things go wrong, the stakes are enormous. Beyond the direct financial losses, struggling ERP projects can damage operational continuity, erode executive confidence, and even put careers on the line.
The harsh truth? Many teams see the warning signs but don’t have a fast, affordable, or effective way to course correct.
That’s where the Corbeau 4K ERP Rapid Rescue Assessment comes in.
The Solution: 4 Days. $4K. Save Your $4M ERP.
ERP projects often cost millions of dollars and run for months or years. Yet they can hemorrhage $50K to $500K per month when misaligned, mismanaged, or misunderstood.
The $4K Rapid Rescue Assessment flips the script. For the price of a nice laptop or a single missed deliverable, you get:
- A four-day, deep-dive health assessment of your ERP project
- Interviews, artifact reviews, and data synthesis using expert analysis and generative AI
- A no-BS action roadmap to recover timeline, budget, and stakeholder trust
- A final sponsor readout that delivers clarity—not confusion
It’s not a drawn-out audit. It’s not a bloated consulting engagement. It’s a surgical strike to stop the bleeding and reclaim control.
What You Really Get: Speed, Clarity, and Confidence
The value isn’t just in what Corbeau delivers—it’s how fast and clearly it’s done. Within four business days, you receive:
- A clear diagnosis of what’s broken, what’s working, and what’s unclear
- A priority-ranked roadmap of immediate actions and strategic adjustments
- Objective evidence to support difficult internal decisions
- Improved team alignment through structured dialogue and shared insights
This is especially critical for organizations on the brink—when frustration is mounting, executive pressure is high, and there’s no time for fluff.
This Is For You If...?
The ERP Rapid Rescue Assessment is ideal for ERP projects that are:
- Behind schedule or over budget
- Struggle with stakeholder alignment
- Lack clarity on roles, risks, or priorities
- Stuck in analysis paralysis or finger-pointing
- Experience career anxiety for sponsors and team leads
Our archetypal client? Someone who knows their ERP project is in trouble—but can’t quite put their finger on why. The team’s overwhelmed, the budget’s bleeding, and internal trust is wearing thin. In just four days, they walk away with a clear roadmap, renewed confidence, and the executive buy-in needed to drive meaningful change.
The Hidden Stakes: Emotion, Reputation, and Accountability
ERP failures don’t just cost money—they create stress, anxiety, financial nightmares, and lasting reputational damage. Project sponsors risk losing credibility. Team members get burned out. Internal politics spike. The board starts asking hard questions, and suddenly everyone is in damage-control mode.
This service is designed to short-circuit that spiral. By intervening early and objectively, the Rapid Rescue Assessment helps teams act with authority and urgency—before the pitchforks come out.
What the 4-Day Process Looks Like
We’ve engineered the Rapid Rescue Assessment for maximum impact in minimum time. Here’s how it works:
Day 0 – Purchase & Prep
- After purchasing, our Client Relationship Manager (CRM) contacts the buyer within four business hours.
- We conduct a preliminary assessment to understand the client’s schedule, availability, and context.
- Our Field Project Manager (FPM) begins company research and artifact preparation.
Day 1 – Orientation & Intake
- We kick off with a buyer/sponsor orientation session.
- The FPM explains the process and begins populating the Systemic Triage Matrix (STM).
- Interview questions and document requests are finalized.
Days 1–3 – Interviews & Analysis
- We conduct up to six stakeholder interviews, focused on surfacing friction points, misalignments, and risks.
- Documents and artifacts are collected and analyzed.
- We use proprietary frameworks and generative AI to synthesize themes, rank issues, and formulate recommendations.
Day 4 – Executive Readout
- We present a structured, jargon-free final readout to the sponsor.
- You receive a tailored recovery roadmap, complete with priorities, timelines, and action steps.
- Optional follow-on advisory support can be discussed if needed—but there’s no hard upsell.
Why It Works
Unlike generic consulting assessments or endless discovery phases, the ERP Rapid Rescue Assessment:
✅ Uses structured tools to cut through confusion
✅ Leverages generative AI for speed and precision
✅ Builds from real-world ERP failure patterns
✅ Offers fixed pricing and guaranteed timelines
✅ Encourages transparency and cross-functional collaboration
In short, it’s designed to work at the speed of reality—not the pace of bureaucracy.
