Untangled
State and local governments provide vital services to their citizens and keep them safe. They are also one of the largest employers in the country. They employ about 14 million people in the US, not including public schools and hospitals. However, they’re also wrought with antiquated systems, broken processes, paperwork overwhelm, lack of transparency, and underutilization of intelligent technologies.
If you are a municipal leader, everyday citizen, or work for a state or local government across the US, you’ve come to the right place! Welcome to Untangled, a podcast for municipal leaders, IT managers, CIOs, and city or county council members that focuses on trends in government IT and its current best practices and challenges. Hosted by Abhijit Verekar, the show features special guests from various municipal agencies across the US, team members at Avèro Advisors, and other experienced professionals in the field to share their insights on how to untangle problems and make the Government more innovative and more efficient.

Flight Plan for ERP: Lessons in Leadership, Checklists, and Control
What do ERP transformations and flying a plane have in common? More than you'd think.
In this unique episode of Untangled, Avero CEO Abhijit Verekar (AV) is joined by Associate Consultant and pilot-in-training Isaac to explore the surprising parallels between aviation and public sector ERP implementation.
From pre-flight prep to landing protocols, AV and Isaac walk through the critical phases of digital transformation using the cockpit as a metaphor. They discuss why readiness assessments matter, how to avoid autopilot leadership, what communication clarity really means, and how to handle turbulence—whether in the air or in an ERP project.
🛫 Topics covered include:
- The importance of a strong governance “flight crew”
- Why project checklists can’t replace situational awareness
- Leadership’s role in steering—not coasting—through change
- What makes for a smooth “landing” (aka go-live)
If you’re involved in planning, leading, or surviving an ERP project in local government, this is a must-listen packed with metaphors, practical advice, and a touch of pilot humor.
