Go Live at Any Cost? Why Speed Is Breaking Your Implementation

from ByteSized · host kylerturnbull

You can turn a system on in six months. That does not mean it will work. In this episode, we unpack the obsession with aggressive go-live dates, executive bonuses tied to “being live,” and what happens when sales promises a Rolls-Royce but delivery shows up with a Honda budget. From missing support at go-live to vague post-production contracts and “standard” agreements that shift all risk back to you, this is about understanding what you are actually signing and why every agreement is negotiable.   Watch the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/live/QUPBWtzpb0Q    Connect with me on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylercheatham/  Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kyler_cheatham_tech/   Follow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@kylercheatham   Connect with The Confluencial https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-confluencial   Follow The Confluencial on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.confluencial
