ERP stands for enterprise resource planning. In plain English, it is the system that helps government manage core business functions like finance, human resources, and operations. It may not be flashy, but it is foundational.

Tim and Brian discuss what it took to reset a struggling implementation, rebuild around strong project management, treat the vendor as a true partner, and keep moving toward a more standardized “One Nevada” approach. They also talk about organizational change management, cybersecurity benefits that come from simplification, how governance changes once a project becomes an operational product, and why the future of ERP may include safe, secure AI tools that help employees learn faster and make better decisions.

The episode closes on a simple piece of leadership advice that still does a lot of heavy lifting: be kind.
