About Jennifer Barr

Large-scale transformations don’t fail because of technology.They fail because complexity isn’t translated into clarity, alignment, and execution.I work with senior leaders running enterprise-wide ERP and digital transformations to help them turn strategy into outcomes — without burnout, chaos, or endless re-planning.What I’m known for- Leading complex, multi-year ERP and digital programs at enterprise scale- Translating technical risk into clear executive decisions- Building PMO, data, and operating models that actually enable delivery- Aligning business, IT, and leadership around measurable value — not just milestonesI sit at the intersection of:Strategy ↔ ExecutionBusiness ↔ TechnologyLeadership ↔ DeliveryThat’s where most transformations struggle — and where I do my best work.I partner with executives and leadership teams to:* Get stalled or noisy transformations back on track * Simplify governance without losing control * Shift from activity-based delivery to value-based outcomes * Navigate high-stakes go-lives, organizational change, and decision pressure * Modernize PMOs and operating models for today’s pace of changeIf you’re navigating a complex transformation and need clarity, alignment, or a steady hand — let’s connect.
