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.

Your Employees Will Reject This ERP Unless You Do This First
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
ERP implementations don’t fail because of software.
They fail because people were never prepared to change.
In this episode of Untangled, we unpack why so many government ERP projects stall after go-live — even when the technology works — and why treating change management as “training and emails” is a costly mistake.
Using real public-sector examples and the Prosci ADKAR framework, we break down what effective organizational change management actually looks like, why awareness and desire matter more than training, and how underinvesting in the people side of ERP leads to resistance, workarounds, and wasted millions.
If your agency is planning an ERP modernization — or struggling with adoption today — this episode explains what must happen before go-live to make the investment stick.
