Hi, Ron. That was a great read!
What you describe is almost exactly what we have experienced in more than a decade of ERP Implementations in small and medium-sized enterprises.
I totally agree with your steps. Although it does not seem so, but especially step 3 can make a huge difference between project success and fail.
The minor difference we have in our business is that step 4 above is our step 1. We only start ERP projects when the "bosses" are already committed to change and the project. This made our life's much easier in our projects. ;-)

Wow! Happy Birthday opensource.com. Thanks a lot to all moderators & contributors for your amazing effort!
