Why SAP transformations fail quietly

You can sense a program drifting long before anyone can prove it. This book gives you the proof.

The book also introduces Program Integrity, a practical operating discipline for testing whether assumptions, decisions, reporting, governance, and execution reality still line up.

Program Drift, decision capacity, false closure, execution anchoring, and Program Integrity: the missing discipline for protecting coherence when delivery pressure rises.
