Flight Plan for ERP: Lessons in Leadership, Checklists, and Control
Manage episode 489776498 series 3521021
What do ERP transformations and flying a plane have in common? More than you'd think.
In this unique episode of Untangled, Avero CEO Abhijit Verekar (AV) is joined by Associate Consultant and pilot-in-training Isaac to explore the surprising parallels between aviation and public sector ERP implementation.
From pre-flight prep to landing protocols, AV and Isaac walk through the critical phases of digital transformation using the cockpit as a metaphor. They discuss why readiness assessments matter, how to avoid autopilot leadership, what communication clarity really means, and how to handle turbulence—whether in the air or in an ERP project.
🛫 Topics covered include:
- The importance of a strong governance “flight crew”
- Why project checklists can’t replace situational awareness
- Leadership’s role in steering—not coasting—through change
- What makes for a smooth “landing” (aka go-live)
If you’re involved in planning, leading, or surviving an ERP project in local government, this is a must-listen packed with metaphors, practical advice, and a touch of pilot humor.
