n this episode of The Process Fixer, host Derrick Mains sits down with Teddie Reyes, an ERP implementation expert and certified process fixer, to dissect why so many ERP systems fail—and how to turn them around.


From post-implementation nightmares to AI-driven efficiencies, Teddie reveals:

🔹 Why 70% of ERP projects underdeliver (and how to avoid common pitfalls)

🔹 The "Stanford Duck" of business processes—why teams hide inefficiencies

🔹 How AI is reshaping workflows (e.g., replacing manual data entry with real-time insights)

🔹 Process triage techniques to align executives, frontline staff, and tech for smoother rollouts


Plus: Real-world examples of cutting 27-step processes down to 3 and why "those who write the plan don’t fight the plan."
