Through the substantial expansion of digitalization in the economy in recent years, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have lately drawn significant attention and become more and more popular among various types of organizations. However, practical evidence has shown that many ERP implementation projects still do not achieve their planned objectives and end up failing. In that context, KPMG Luxembourg noticed a real market opportunity locally which has led the firm to focus on the development of its ERP consultancy services. 
By highlighting the required competencies and skills of external consultants to favor success in such implementation projects, this report aims at providing valuable information and human resources-based tools for the progression of KPMG’s business activities in this realm. First, an extensive literature review focused on the roots and consequences of ERP implementation failures put forward numerous critical failure factors. These factors were classified into eight categories: “organizational”; “project management”; “human resources”; “managerial”; “vendor and consultant”; “processes”; “technical” and “culture and environment”. From then on, three of the most significant factors linked to external consultants were selected for in-depth analysis. To be the basis for relevant best practices and actions for KPMG Luxembourg, these three factors were studied from the perspective of key/critical success factors, i.e. “formal project management”, “effective education and training” and “successful ERP (software package) selection”. The results underlined suitable methodologies, models and advice. Following this theoretical research, a connection with the concept of “skills management” was made and the detailed methodology pursued during the internship was presented. This methodology resulted in the production of three HR tools (i.e. a competency framework; a skills matrix and a responsibility assignment matrix) for the SAP Advisory practice at KPMG Luxembourg. Recommendations were also formulated in the form of an action plan regarding the proper implementation of these frameworks.

To be competitive, companies must develop capabilities that allow them to react rapidly to market demands. The innovation methods of the past are not adapted to the turbulence of the modern world. In the last decade, increasing globalization of markets and Industry 4.0 have caused profound changes in the best way to manage the innovation process. This e-book includes a collection of thirteen papers that discuss theoretical approaches, case studies, and surveys focused on issues related to open innovation and its mechanisms.

In a VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous), organizations, in order to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage, must learn to mitigate risk and prioritize performance and innovation. In the last decade, as a way to respond to market demands, projects emerge as a way for organizations to implement their strategic objectives in order to respond to a need, opportunity, or threat in an efficient way. This e-book includes a collection of 11 papers that discuss theoretical approaches and case studies, focused on a combined effect between Project Risk Assessment and corporate behaviour in order to support the sustainability and business resilience in a competitive environment. The e-book will be of particular interest to entrepreneurs, researchers, and policymakers.

This Book is a Printed Edition of the Special Issue which covers sustainability as an emerging requirement in the fields of construction management, project management and engineering. We invited authors to submit their theoretical or experimental research articles that address the challenges and opportunities for sustainable construction in all its facets, including technical topics and specific operational or procedural solutions, as well as strategic approaches aimed at the project, company or industry level. Central to developments are smart technologies and sophisticated decision-making mechanisms that augment sustainable outcomes. The Special Issue was received with great interest by the research community and attracted a high number of submissions. The selection process sought to balance the inclusion of a broad representative spread of topics against research quality, with editors and reviewers settling on thirty-three articles for publication. The Editors invite all participating researchers and those interested in sustainable construction engineering and management to read the summary of the Special Issue and of course to access the full-text articles provided in the Book for deeper analyses.
