Dispatches from an Internet PioneerDeep Drive: ERP and Lifelong Leadership Lessons
In this episode, we unpack why ERP implementations, especially projects like Workday, are far more than system upgrades. They’re crucibles for leadership. Olivia and Mark share the skills every future leader builds during an ERP rollout, from narrative intelligence to governance fluency, and explains how these high-stress, high-stakes projects accelerate personal and professional growth. Whether you’re in IT, finance, HR, or academic leadership, this is a conversation about how to lead real change—and become the kind of leader institutions need next.
