download (audio/mpeg, 4.98Mb)

Description: In previous newsletter articles, we discussed a number of critical "get-ready" steps, preparations for Best Practice implementations. While these steps may seem like pencil-sharpening work to some, we and others have long found that using real, Best Practice methods up front saves equally real pain later on. As with other implementation project steps, Best Practice methods are THE way to reduce or eliminate the risk typically associated with implementation projects. Building on the top management communication and interface work, team selection, and the preparations for the Conference Room Pilot (CRP), in this podcast we'll get into the specifics of what the CRP absolutely MUST cover, and cover well.
