Ep. 6: How Cheryl Taylor Implemented a Large Jail Technology Upgrade

Cheryl Taylor is no stranger to managing projects on a large scale. When she landed a contract to replace a 17-year-old jail technology, she jumped at the chance! Not only did she complete that project 10 months ahead of schedule, but the project even won an innovation award.   That kind of success results from a career that spans telecommunications, energy, healthcare, education, and more. She's worked in large publicly-traded companies, government institutions, and small businesses, including her own – TPM Services.   In this scale tale, Cheryl takes us back to the time when she upgraded that jail technology for a county government organization with over 800 employees with an $800M annual budget. Discover how she developed a project plan, kept reluctant staff engaged, and ensured no inmates were lost in the system.    Unfamiliar with the U.S. jail system? No worries! We share lessons learned at the end of this episode that you can apply to any business.    🏆𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐏𝐌𝐏?
