3 Change Management Principles Every ERP Team Needs

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2285766/fan_mail/new] Most companies don't realize how much can go wrong in an ERP project before the software is even chosen. In this episode of RPI Tech Connect, change management consultant Casey Gomes shares why so many large IT initiatives fail to deliver and what organizations can do differently from the start. With 30-plus implementations under his belt, Casey walks through three principles that separate projects that stick from ones that stall: getting the right people in the room early, aligning the executive team around a shared vision, and giving the initiative a "why" that motivates people. He also makes a case for bringing in outside help before system selection and explains exactly what you're risking if you wait. If you're in the early stages of an ERP project, or about to be, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

When Your WFM Consultants Used to Be Nurses, Scheduling Gets Easier

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2285766/fan_mail/new] Most nurse scheduling problems aren't software problems—they're people problems, and it helps to have consultants who've walked in those shoes. In this episode of RPI Tech Connect, host Chris Arey sits down with Brianna Zink, Senior Director of Global Strategy for WFM at Infor, and Maria Hamberlin, Senior WFM Business Analyst at RPI Consultants—two former nurses who started their careers together at a long-term acute care hospital and now help healthcare organizations get real value out of workforce management technology. They talk about the real impact of scheduling challenges on nurses and the patients they care for, how to train teams on WFM so that adoption actually sticks and staff stop reverting to paper and workarounds, and what it takes to build lasting confidence in a system that can genuinely make their lives easier. They also share fresh takeaways from AONL, including some standout conversations and innovations that are pushing nursing and healthcare forward. Whether you're a nurse manager, a WFM admin, or just tired of scheduling headaches, there's something in here for you.

Solving the Healthcare Affordability Crisis

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2285766/fan_mail/new] Healthcare costs keep climbing, and the systems meant to manage them are straining under the weight.   In this episode of RPI Tech Connect, healthcare technology leader Brian Rosenberg returns to explore why healthcare is so expensive and where the real opportunities to bring costs down actually live.   From AI-powered ambient documentation to smarter supply chain management to back-office automation, Brian makes the case that operational efficiency is the lever most healthcare organizations aren't pulling hard enough. He also shares why the conversation needs to shift away from who's footing the bill and toward fixing the underlying cost of care itself.   If you work in healthcare and want a grounded, practical perspective on where to start, this discussion is for you.

The PM You Didn't Know You Were Missing

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2285766/fan_mail/new] An ERP implementation has a lot of moving parts, but one of the most overlooked is who's actually looking out for you throughout the project. Your vendor brings a project manager to the table, but that person works for the vendor. In this episode of RPI Tech Connect, Deborah Kaminetzky, founder of DeFacto PM, joins to talk about what role a client-side project manager plays during an ERP project and why the difference matters more than most organizations realize. Deborah has worked both sides of the table, and brings a refreshingly honest point of view on where implementations go wrong. The conversation covers everything from how to handle workarounds your team has built, to why including more stakeholders during discovery calls can save a project down the line.  If you've ever wondered whether your ERP project has the right people in the right roles, this episode offers valuable perspective on how to evaluate that.
