The most dangerous assumption in any identity rollout is that the hard part is technical. It isn't. The hard part is the manager who needs access right now and doesn't care how it gets done. The administrator who knows the bypass is wrong but creates it anyway. And the organization that spent millions on the architecture and nothing on planning for either of them.

In this episode, Ernie and Josée tear apart Phase 6 of the IAM engagement blueprint: implementation planning. From translating a three-year strategic vision into granular executable projects, to mapping the dependencies that silently kill timelines, to the brutal honest assessment of whether your current team is actually equipped to build what the architecture demands.

You'll leave knowing why IAM programs almost never fail because the code is broken — and exactly what to do about the three things that actually bring them down.

If you've ever watched a multi-million dollar rollout collapse on launch day — this episode explains why, and how to make sure it never happens again.
