WEBINAR: BELIEVE: The Ted Lasso Guide to Municipal ERP Procurement
Most Canadian municipalities go into ERP procurement full of hope. There's a real need, a budget, and a long list of requirements. What's usually missing is an agreed vision, an honest read on where the organization stands, and governance that holds up when the project gets hard.
Ted Lasso built a winning team out of a losing one without a single tactical genius on the bench. He did it with clarity, honesty, and a refusal to let one person carry the whole thing. On Tuesday, Ben Perry brings those same principles to ERP procurement, drawing on Perry Group's work with municipalities across Canada to show what separates the procurements that deliver real change from the ones that end in change orders and scope fights.
What we'll cover
Why hope, a budget, and a requirements list aren't a plan
What has to be agreed before anyone writes a single requirement
The honest self assessment most municipalities skip, and what it costs them at bid time
The homework that shows up later as a change order
Why ERP succeeds when Finance, IT and the business own it together
Where to start if you're twelve months out from going to market
Who should join
Finance, IT and senior leaders at municipalities planning an ERP replacement in the next year or two. If you're still shaping the project, this session will help you set it up well from the start.
