Anyone else getting stuck in generalist work as an ERP consultant?

I was hired for my Workday expertise, but now we’ve got too many Workday folks on the bench, so I’m being pushed into generic strategy roles instead for utilization. It’s been years of being promised “hot” domains that immediately cool off and bounced across management consulting and strategy/ops work.

With AI eating into ERP delivery, is anyone actually hiring certified ERP talent anymore, or is this happening across firms?

AI isn’t eating into ERP work at least in the SAP space. ERP implementations are all about people management which AI can’t do

Grass is always greener for us haha. I feel like Strategy work is dying even more since AI is now doing this. I love the implementation part and where strategy meets strong execution / implementation. The current group of people I’m working with just talks in buzzwords and oversells reality.

Wow, I’m in this exact same situation. Although I wouldn’t say the ERP market is bad in general, in some ways it’s more protected than generalist mgt consulting. There’s just absolutely no need for junior talent from what I’ve seen.

Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.
