The future direction of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is being increasing defined by the needs of business units and divisions, less by the hierarchical requirements of IT departments. This transition is occurring with increasing speed and velocity, shifting the balance of political power in organizations to the line-of-business users, away from IT, while also drastically changing the architecture and platforms of ERP systems (Markus, Petrie, Axline, 2000).

Successful organizations are always looking for ways to improve process and procedures, increase revenues and profits, while staying relevant in today’s business world. Strong leadership is the backbone of any organization and is the catalyst for driving a culture of innovation and change.
