Summary

In this episode, Kevin Patrick discusses the challenges of implementing ERP systems in small to mid-sized businesses and how the Dream Manager approach can prevent culture damage during such transitions. He shares a cautionary tale of a company that lost key employees due to a poorly managed ERP implementation and contrasts it with a success story where employee involvement and a focus on personal dreams led to a smoother transition. The episode emphasizes the importance of treating employees as whole human beings and integrating their needs into business systems.
