Feasibility assessment
This enterprise-wide integration initiative carries moderate-to-high execution risk due to unresolved architectural decisions, vendor selection dependencies, and a compressed 12-18 month timeline for mostly new capability. The 80/100 cross-functional intensity combined with high integration complexity demands sustained engagement across nine functions, creating significant coordination overhead and capacity strain on shared services (Data Governance, Procurement, Compliance). Success hinges on rapid resolution of architectural and vendor decisions in the first quarter; delay cascades directly into timeline and operational readiness.
