Send us a textCall center and customer service workflows, particularly in heavily regulated sectors like banking, financial services, and insurance, often involve a level of complexity that standard CRM platforms struggle to accommodate. Processes such as client onboarding, approval cycles, and exception handling require dynamic, BPM-like capabilities that go beyond basic ticketing or task management. While major CRM solutions may offer customization, they frequently lack the agility and deep integration needed for real-time process orchestration and ad-hoc decision-making. This is where Pegasystems distinguishes itself, leveraging its strengths in process automation, AI-driven decisioning, and dynamic case management to manage intricate workflows with precision and adaptability. Positioned as a leader in the convergence of CRM and business process management, Pegasystems stands out for organizations seeking a platform that can handle complex service environments while maintaining compliance and operational efficiency.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry experts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to conduct an independent review of Pegasystems' capabilities. We covered many grounds, including where Pegasystems might be a fit in the enterprise architecture and where it might be overused. Finally, they analyze many data points to help understand the core strengths and weaknesses of Pegasystems.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.

Is your growing business starting to feel chaotic? Are crucial tasks slipping through the cracks? In this episode, you will learn the telltale signs of a business struggling to transition from relationship-centric to process-driven operations and why these surprising challenges often emerge around the 150-employee mark.   We unpack the "Dunbar effect" and why maintaining strong relationships becomes exponentially harder as your team expands. We break down the common symptoms like role confusion, overwhelmed managers, a shifting culture, and a breakdown in accountability.    You will understand why this seemingly arbitrary number can be a critical turning point and what proactive steps you can take to navigate this growth phase successfully.    Takeaways   Companies often struggle with growth around 150 employees. The Dunbar effect explains relationship challenges in larger teams. Role confusion can lead to mistakes and inefficiencies. Managers may become bottlenecks in decision-making.

"SaaS as we know it is DEAD." This might sound controversial, but as Manav Garg explains, the old model of simple workflow automation is being rapidly superseded. AI agents are now capable of executing complex tasks based on simple commands, fundamentally changing how businesses operate and what they expect from technology. Manav Garg is the Co-founder and Managing Partner of Together Fund, an operator-led VC firm managing over $250M AUM and backing ambitious early-stage Indian SaaS and AI startups. Before this, he founded Eka Software Solutions in 2004, building it over nearly two decades into a global leader in commodity management software. He scaled Eka to $34 million in revenue with $9 million in profit by 2014, raised over $55 million, navigated a complex pivot to the cloud, and ultimately exited the company. He is also a co-founder of SaaSBOOMi, Asia's largest SaaS community, and is passionate about building India as a Product Nation. Key Insights from the Conversation:

Episode Overview In this episode of Thriving Practice, I speak with Sarah Clark, founder of Sarah Clark Consulting, who helps medical, dental, and chiropractic practices transform operational chaos into sustainable calm. Sarah's approach combines fractional practice administration with process improvement strategies that allow providers to focus on patient care rather than administrative burdens. We explore how small, intentional changes in technology and workflow can dramatically improve both the patient experience and staff satisfaction. Sarah shares concrete examples of how simple solutions like automated appointment reminders have freed up staff time and improved patient punctuality by 30% in one practice. Her compassionate, results-driven methodology emphasizes that providers don't need to make sweeping changes all at once – even incremental improvements can lead to significant positive outcomes for practice efficiency and provider wellbeing. Featured Quotes "What I do is I help private medical, dental, chiropractor, anything in that field...turn their chaos into calm. And I sort of make a joke of, well, not all the way calm, more like calm-er. Because if it's really quiet and it's really calm, that's probably also like it's never really gonna happen that way." "Burnout is not just taking care of the patients and dealing with that burden that gets put onto their shoulders, but having to run an office when a physician did not go to business school becomes really difficult...It's overwhelming. That's a full-time job." "There are ways that you can do that and take some of the manual part of the stuff that leads up to that diagnosis...once the clients, once the business owners understand that it's okay to elevate something else off of you, to give it to somebody that has the experience and the time and the understanding to do it, it is, I mean, I have two clients that will just send me a text message about whatever it is and they used to say just handle it, now that just handle it is understood." What You'll Learn Listen for these key insights: How the "Four P's" framework (People, Paperwork, Processes, and Patients) can transform your practice Why technology adoption doesn't have to be overwhelming—and how small changes like automated appointment reminders can have outsized impacts The surprising connection between provider burnout and patient experience How fractional practice administration can provide expert support for practices that can't justify a full-time administrator The critical importance of developing a strategic plan for your practice, including your eventual exit strategy Why compassion isn't just good medicine—it's good business (with scientific evidence to back it up!) Resources Mentioned Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence that Caring Makes a Difference - Book recommendation from Sarah about the impact of compassion on patient outcomes and provider burnout Thriving Practice is hosted and executive produced by Tracy Cherpeski. Our mission is to help healthcare practitioners build sustainable, impactful businesses while maintaining their own wellbeing.

Pour ce nouvel épisode, j'ai le plaisir de donner la parole à Félicité Chaton, artiste interprète. Après des études entre lettres et philosophie, elle croise le chemin de Véronique Nordey. Une rencontre décisive qui l'amène à se former au Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique. Sur les planches, elle débute aux côtés de grandes figures du théâtre contemporain. À l'écran, elle marque les esprits en incarnant l'adjudante Vicky dans la série Section de recherches sur TF1.

I'm breaking down the real reason you can't scale yet — and it's not because you need to work harder.

If you're ready to grow without losing your mind, you need to hear this.

#95.In this episode of The meez Podcast, Josh Sharkey sits down with Ben Pryor, a former restaurant operator turned tech leader at Fourtop, to explore the real-world impact of AI in the hospitality industry—and why it should empower teams, not replace them.With more than 30 years of experience running restaurants like Noodles & Co., Brinker, and Dewey's, Ben brings a sharp operator-first perspective to restaurant innovation. He unpacks his concept of “augmented intuition”—a rebrand of AI that's rooted in support and empowerment rather than substitution—and shares how technology can be used to enhance human decision-making across teams. From simple tools like Expensify to AI-powered note-taking apps, he breaks down the systems that have helped streamline his own day-to-day work.Josh and Ben also dig into the intersection of technology and hospitality, talking through why investing in people and processes is still critical, the role of friction in the guest experience, and the operational challenges restaurants face when integrating new tech. They explore the importance of service in shaping memorable dining experiences, what scalable leadership really looks like, and how restaurant teams can take ownership of their internal systems and data.This conversation is a must-listen for anyone thinking critically about the future of hospitality—whether you're navigating AI tools, building smoother workflows, or trying to create a seamless experience for both staff and guests.Links and resources

Attorney Lawrence LeBrocq, CEO and Managing Partner of Garces, Grabler and LeBrocq PC (GGL), joins us today to discuss Processes and Systems to Maximize Profit in a Personal Injury Law Firm. He'll be speaking at the PILMMA Super Summit this year. There are many skill sets that come into play when growing your firm. It is easy to oversimplify it. One might think, “I'll invest in marketing, get more clients in the door, then add more attorneys once I have the business growing.” While those are all important, there is a crucial piece missing for maximizing profitability long-term: systems and processes. Without these in place, you risk costly inefficiencies, poor client relationships, and employee burnout. In this episode, we discuss: Processes to maintain consistent communication with clients Systems and checklists for streamlined workflows Setting standards to prevent under-settling cases Visit Lawrence LeBrocq online here https://ggllawyers.com/our-attorneys/lawrence-a-lebrocq-esq/.

Do you think it's normal to feel discomfort in your body? Or do you recognize discomfort as your body's attempt to communicate with you? In this thought-provoking episode, I challenge the idea that our bodies betray us. We'll talk about how we've been conditioned to ignore discomfort, push through pain, and normalize symptoms like bloating, fatigue, inflammation, and poor sleep—until something more serious forces us to listen. I'll share my personal experiences and real-life stories—including the heartbreaking loss of my brother to a curable cancer—to illustrate why tuning into your body's signals matters now, not later. I'll walk you through the challenges of behavior change, the role of chronic stress in disconnecting us from our own bodies, and how mindfulness can help us rebuild trust and awareness. This episode isn't just for breast cancer survivors—it's for everyone who wants to live a more connected, healthy, and intentional life.

The power industry supply chain is facing unprecedented strain as utilities race to upgrade aging infrastructure against a backdrop of lengthening lead times and increasing project complexity. This supply chain gridlock arrives precisely when utilities face mounting pressure to modernize systems. As the industry confronts this growing crisis, innovations in procurement, manufacturing, and strategic planning are essential. “Utilities can optimize their supply chain for grid modernization projects by taking a collaborative approach between the services themselves and how they can support the projects, as well as having a partner to be able to leverage their sourcing capabilities and have the relationships with the right manufacturers,” Ian Rice, senior director of Programs and Services for Grid Services at Wesco, explained as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “At the end of the day, it's how can the logistical needs be accounted for and taken care of by the partnered firm to minimize the overall delays that are going to naturally come and mitigate the risks,” he said. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Wesco is a leading global supply chain solutions provider. Rice explained that through Wesco, utilities gain access to a one-stop solution for program services, project site services, and asset management. The company claims its tailored approach “ensures cost reduction, risk mitigation, and operational efficiencies, allowing utilities to deliver better outcomes for their customers.” “We take a really comprehensive approach to this,” said Rice. “In the utility market, we believe pricing should be very transparent.” To promote a high level of transparency, Wesco builds out special recovery models for its clients. “What this looks like is: we take a complete cradle-to-grave approach on the lifecycle of the said project or program, and typically, it could be up to nine figures—very, very large programs,” Rice explained. “It all starts with building that model and understanding the complexity. What are the inputs, what are the outputs, and what constraints are there in the short term as well as the long term? And, really, what's the goal of that overall program?” The answers to those questions are accounted for in the construction of the model. “It all starts with demand management, which closely leads to a sourcing and procurement strategy,” Rice said. “From there, we can incorporate inventory control, and set up SOPs [standard operating procedures] of how we want to deal with the contractors and all the other stakeholders within that program or project. And that really ties into what's going to be the project management approach, as well in setting up all the different processes, or even the returns and reclamation program. We're really covering everything minute to minute, day to day, the entire duration of that project, and tying that into a singular model.” But that's not all. Rice said another thing that sets Wesco apart from others in the market is when it takes this program or project approach, depending on the scale of it, the company remains agnostic when it comes to suppliers. “We're doing procurement on behalf of our customers,” he said. “So, if they have direct relationships, we can facilitate that. If they're working with other distributors, we can also manage that. The whole idea here is: what's in the best interest of the customer to provide the most value.”

In this episode, we're diving deep into the truth about beliefs—how they're not just things we have, but powerful forces that shape who we are and the reality we experience. We explore how the loop begins: you form a belief, your reality reflects it, and then you take that as proof that the belief is true. But what if you could break free from that cycle? Or better yet, use it to your advantage?God gifted you the power of belief—now it's time to use it intentionally to create the life you truly desire. Tune in for a perspective shift that just might change everything.❤️‍

Systems & Processes That Drive Profit with Adi Klevit   Chaos is expensive. In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we crack the code on how documented systems aren't just nice-to-have—they're the missing multiplier in your business's profitability formula. If you're tired of being the bottleneck, constantly putting out fires, and never getting ahead, it's time to trade the hustle for high-performance systems that scale. Our guest, Adi Klevit, reveals how business owners can create a self-operating machine by implementing and optimizing their processes.  Spoiler alert: Systems aren't the enemy of creativity—they're the foundation of freedom.    In This Episode, You'll Learn:  Why most entrepreneurs resist creating processes—and how that resistance kills profitability. The difference between organized chaos and scalable clarity. How systematization frees up your mental space AND cash flow. The connection between process documentation and higher business valuations. Why your SOPs are your secret weapon in scaling and exiting.    Key Takeaways:  “Freedom comes from structure.” Entrepreneurs crave autonomy, but lack of documented processes is what traps them in day-to-day firefighting. Systems are your escape hatch. Systematize for scalability. Want to sell your business or open new locations? Investors and buyers care about repeatability. That means documented processes. Retention tool: Losing a key employee shouldn't threaten your operations. When SOPs are in place, you retain knowledge even if you lose people. Consistency = trust = profit. Standardized delivery builds a brand customers trust—and trust drives referrals and lifetime value. Build your business to sell, even if you're not planning to. Systematizing gives you options—scale, step back, or cash out.    About Adi Klevit:  Adi Klevit is the visionary founder of Business Success Consulting Group, where she helps business owners build scalable, efficient organizations. With a 25+ year background as an Industrial Engineer and management consultant, Adi turns complexity into clarity. She's a process queen and people whisperer—combining strategy and operations into a powerhouse system that frees business owners to thrive.  She's also the host of the Systems Simplified podcast, where she interviews top entrepreneurs about the systems behind their success.    Conclusion:   Systems Drive Profit. What's the true cost of not having processes? Missed profits. Burnout. Lost opportunities. Adi makes a compelling case that processes are profit levers—and that the business owner's role is to step back, build systems, and lead with clarity. As EOS, Traction, and Scaling Up all emphasize: documented, followed-by-all processes are a non-negotiable for sustainable growth.  If you're ready to turn chaos into cash flow, this episode will show you how.    Links:   Website: https://bizsuccesscg.com  Podcast: https://bizsuccesscg.com/podcast/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adiklevit/  Link to schedule free process mapping session: https://calendly.com/meetwithadi/free-process-mapping-session    Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

In this episode of "The Traveling Introvert," the discussion focuses on the different ways introverts and extroverts process information. Introverts typically prefer to think before speaking, processing information internally, and often need time and a quiet environment to fully absorb and understand new information. They thrive in situations that allow for deep, focused thinking without interruptions. On the other hand, extroverts often process information by thinking out loud, refining their ideas through dynamic discussions and real-time engagement with others. They gain energy from social interactions and are most effective in fast-paced, energetic settings. The episode also highlights the importance of understanding these differences to improve communication, reduce frustration, and make interactions smoother across various environments.

When we don't feel well, we can take our temperature or go for a checkup. When our car is not performing right, we can check different gauges and look at various fluids and things. But is it possible for a dealer to perform checks on his/her equipment business to determine if they've got any operational problems? This month's guest, Troy Ottmer, has been diagnosing and treating operational issues at equipment dealerships for about 20 years, and his overall industry experience is twice that long. He's an expert worth talking to when it comes to helping dealers identify potential areas for improvement. When you speak with Troy, two things become apparent: (1) He's all about staying customer-centric – they should feel like you're always putting their best interest first. (2) He is also about simplicity. Processes don't have to be complicated to be effective.  Dealers need the occasional check-up – tune in to see what that looks like and what you should be looking for!   Connect with Troy: Ottmer Consulting LinkedIn   Connect with IEDA: Visit IEDA Group Website IEDA Events Produced By: Social Chameleon

What if your next disagreement could actually bring you closer to someone instead of driving you apart? In this episode, we're diving into Conflict Resilience: Negotiating Disagreement Without Giving Up or Giving In with co-authors Bob Bordone, a conflict resolution expert from Harvard, and Joe Salinas, a behavioral neurologist and founder of Isaac Health. Together with Yael, they have a down-to-earth conversation about what it really takes to stay present in conflict and why that matters for your relationships and your brain.  You'll hear personal stories, surprising research, and powerful insights on why it's so important to get comfortable with discomfort, listen with an open heart, and know when (and how) to engage in tough conversations. Listen and Learn:  What happens when a conflict avoider and a conflict expert team up to explore how tension builds connection? Why do two people experience the same conflict so differently, and how does your brain shape that story? Is conflict really worse today, or have we just lost the resilience to stay in the heat and handle it? Why avoiding conflict rewires your brain to fear it and building resilience means facing the heat, slowly. How sharing real stories across deep divides can reshape how we see “the other” and actually spark true change. Can deeper listening to those we disagree with reshape our brains, our beliefs, and maybe even our world? Why listening grows from curiosity to open space for real connection Knowing when to engage or exit conflict starts with curiosity and protects both peace and power Resources:  Conflict Resilience: Negotiating Disagreement Without Giving Up or Giving In: http://www.conflictresiliencebook.com Joel's website: https://joelsalinasmd.com/ Bob's website: https://www.bobbordone.com/about-me#:~:text=My%20Story,served%20as%20the%20Thaddeus%20R Yael's newsletter interview with the authors of You're Not as Crazy as I Thought (But You're Still Wrong)—on the topic of moving from “me versus you” to “us versus the problem” Additional Books Referenced in the Episode  Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781250338143  The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780393354775 Rising Out of Hatred: The Awakening of a Former White Nationalist: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780525434955 The Klansman's Son: My Journey from White Nationalism to Antiracism: A Memoir: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781419764783 You're Not as Crazy as I Thought (But You're Still Wrong): https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781612344614 About Bob Bordone:  Robert C.

Thomas Greek's leadership journey reads like a field guide for anyone who's ever struggled with the transition from boss to true leader. From his early days as a self-described "bossy boss" pointing at his metaphorical sheriff's badge, to becoming the youngest executive in his organization's history, Thomas reveals the pivotal moments that transformed his approach to leading others.The conversation turns on a single question from a mentor who asked him, "Do you think your team likes working for you?" His initial response—"Does it matter?"—captures the mindset many new managers bring to leadership positions. This moment sparked a curiosity that would define his leadership philosophy moving forward.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Thomas's willingness to share his vulnerabilities. He recounts landing an executive role running a multibillion-dollar credit card operation despite candidly admitting in the interview, "I'm not qualified for this job." His secret? Understanding that leadership excellence comes from building engaged teams and creating transformational environments, not from technical expertise alone.Throughout our discussion, Thomas reveals practical frameworks like his "Three Ps" approach (People, Processes, Possibilities) and shares his favorite coaching question: "Is it true?" These simple but powerful tools have helped countless leaders shift from controlling to empowering, from telling to asking, and from feeling isolated to creating genuine connection.Whether you're leading a small team or a large organization, Thomas's insights on psychological safety, workplace loneliness, and the integration of work and personal wellbeing offer a blueprint for more effective and fulfilling leadership. His parting wisdom? "Be kind. It's easy, it's free, and the world needs more of it."Ready to transform your leadership approach?
