What do ERP implementations and aviation have in common? More than you might think. In this episode of GovTech Insights , Avero CEO Abhijit Verekar is joined by ERP consultant (and licensed pilot) Isaac West to unpack how lessons from the cockpit apply directly to public sector digital transformation. From pre-flight planning to checklist discipline and mid-air course corrections, AV and Isaac draw clear parallels between flying and managing complex ERP projects—with insights that could save your agency time, money, and frustration. ✈️ What we cover: Why communication breakdowns derail ERP success The role of checklists (and why they’re not enough) How to “stay ahead of the plane” when managing tech timelines The importance of defining project terminology early How standardization helps prevent human error If your organization is considering an ERP system—or already deep in implementation—this episode offers a grounded, tactical perspective to help you stay on course.

Too many government tech projects go sideways because agencies forget one essential truth: you’re allowed to push back. In this episode, Avero CEO Abhijit Verekar (AV) gets real about what it takes to lead a successful ERP or digital transformation—before, during, and after vendor selection. He tackles: Why it’s not “fighting” to ask tough questions—it's protecting your organization The danger of letting vendors define your success criteria What “being blacklisted” really means—and why you shouldn’t fear it How CHROs, CIOs, and CFOs can align priorities instead of working in silos Why waiting until go-live to define “success” is a recipe for failure How early—and how often—you should bring in outside consultants Why outdated RFP templates are sabotaging modern outcomes And the truth about software negotiations most agencies never hear If your agency is planning an RFP, juggling priorities between departments, or trying to avoid being another “go-live disaster,” this episode is your playbook.
