Never On The Bench: An ERP Consultant's Survival Guide If you're an experienced ERP consultant, the pattern is familiar. A project ends earlier than expected. Your résumé is outdated. Your network has gone quiet. You're forced to rebuild momentum from scratch, just as the market shifts again. You know how to configure complex ERP systems. You know how to deliver under pressure. You know how to rescue broken implementations. What you were never taught is how to manage the space between projects. Never On The Bench is a practical field manual for ERP professionals who want to stop reacting to uncertainty and start managing their careers deliberately. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience delivering ERP programs across global system integrators, boutique firms, and independent consulting models, Unmesh Laddha identifies a recurring failure mode: consultants rarely struggle because of technical ability. They struggle during transitions. This book focuses on that blind spot. Rather than offering motivation or generic career advice, it presents consulting as an operating system. It explains how projects actually wind down, how warning signals appear long before roles disappear, and how professionals can build leverage before they are forced to react. Inside the book, you'll learn how to: Recognize early warning signs on ERP projects well before formal signals appear Build and maintain a structured opportunity pipeline instead of relying on last-minute searches Navigate recruiter relationships with clarity and leverage Manage exits and bench periods without panic or reputational damage Create long-term career portability across market cycles The book is structured around real consulting scenarios and follows a consistent Story ? Core Lessons ? Field Notes format, combining narrative context with practical frameworks, checklists, and decision models. Never On The Bench is accompanied by access to a companion digital toolkit designed to help readers apply the ideas in practice. The toolkit includes interconnected templates for opportunity tracking, recruiter management, project history, skill planning, and long-term career oversight. Although examples frequently reference SAP environments, the underlying patterns apply equally to Oracle, Workday, PeopleSoft, Dynamics, and other ERP ecosystems. The platforms change. The career dynamics do not. This book is written for experienced ERP professionals who prefer clarity over comfort, systems over slogans, and preparation over hope.
