Sony
Engagements: Global ERP Implementation, Project Portfolio Management, Program Delivery
The Story of Sony
Sony engaged Executive Option to provide program management and delivery leadership across a portfolio of ERP and bolt-on technology initiatives. These projects supported Sony’s global operations, requiring seamless integration of finance, supply chain, and compliance functions across multiple business units. Executive Option’s role was to ensure projects were executed on time, within scope, and aligned with Sony’s strategic goals.
The Challenge
Sony’s global footprint meant the ERP program faced diverse regulatory, currency, and compliance requirements across regions. Managing multiple parallel projects created risks of scope creep, cost overruns, and conflicting priorities. Additionally, coordinating teams across different time zones required a unifying program framework and disciplined governance to maintain accountability and quality.
The Execution
Executive Option established a structured project portfolio management framework that improved visibility and alignment across initiatives. Program governance was strengthened through standardized reporting, milestone tracking, and risk management protocols. By coordinating offshore, U.S., and global delivery teams, Executive Option ensured consistent quality and collaboration across time zones. Key ERP integrations were successfully implemented, strengthening Sony’s global financial and operational capabilities. The engagement enabled Sony to accelerate digital transformation while maintaining compliance, operational efficiency, and executive oversight.
