This is one of the reasons a good ERP tech is often someone who started in business and shifted into consultant role.

Areas where domain specific knowledge outweighs the technical aspects, you need to be cross functional.

And overall - the biggest take away for me is that Computer Science is probably not the right degree for most people. Understanding object notation or algorithms, in my experience is interesting but much less useful than understanding business terms or learning use cases.
