Many companies face uncertainty around data quality, integrations, reporting, process redesign, licensing changes, and years of undocumented tribal knowledge, or what we like to call "Human Glue." Users fear losing familiar processes and moving toward automation, often driven by concerns about becoming irrelevant or losing their jobs. Leaders fear downtime, cost overruns, and organizational resistance. Project teams feel pressure from every direction.

Jamie and Maria will discuss the real sources of chaos in D365 upgrades and implementations, why fear shows up at every layer of the organization, and how functional consultants, architects, and project leaders can actively reduce that fear. We will also discuss what truly matters during data migration, including the importance of standardization, mapping discipline, and early data reality checks.

Drawing from real upgrade experiences, Jamie and Maria lean on practical strategies for creating clarity, building trust, and guiding teams through change, without pretending the journey is easy.

we aim for you to walk away with concrete approaches they can apply immediately to stabilize upgrades, improve stakeholder confidence, and lead people through transformation.
