welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott Mackenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge industry focused innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hard hat, grab your work boots.

01:08

And let's get right once again, thank you very much for joining industrial talk a platform that is dedicated to industry professionals all around the world. We celebrate you here because you are bold, brave, you dare greatly you collaborate, you're solving problems. You're making my life better, and you're making the world a better place. Why not celebrate you? Via I'm sitting next to Shon, I'm celebrating him real soon. And we are broadcasting from the 30th annual SMRP conference here in Raleigh, North Carolina. And if you're a maintenance professional, you need to be here. If you are a reliability, and you're passionate about reliability and asset management, you need to be here. That's SMRP absolutely make that happen. All right in the hot seat we have Shon here in the show is the company. Let's get cracking with the conversation. You know what I'm running out of room I'm running out of Nope. I'm looking at my notebook and I can't I can't I need notes in the notes. No, I can't write anymore. There's just it's just like Blair like a player? Player. Right? There's player knows, right?

02:14

I don't know what to do. And Blair guys pretty good guy to talk to there. He's quite chirpy, he is. He's fun. If we look close, we may be able to see him from here.

02:23

Oh, I already is I yell at him from this distance. But it looks like he's got it's got a group around a group

02:29

around them. They must be have something so the total

02:33

sound dish. Big time.

02:35

Yeah. All right.

02:36

It's about time. This listeners This is a probably a 27 year in the making conversations and I haven't I've been I've been running Shon down for 27 I'm not exaggerating. Not even a little bit. One bit. Maybe it's gonna be a yeah, anyway. But we were able to be you know why I was able to get a hold of them because his his booth is right to my left and I'm I stare at him and stare at Eruditio. So it's pretty much a shame conversation.

03:05

But I'm here.

03:08

Excited. All right, for the listeners out there. Shon, give us a little background on who you are. And then we're going to jump into era DCO and all of the reliability stuff.

03:18

Sounds good. Well, my name is Shon Isenhour, and I am from Charleston, South Carolina. I get the pleasure of living near the beach every day when when they'll let me stay in Charleston, as you and I've talked about. I've been on the road quite a bit this year with our clients. So it's been it's been really busy. But I am the owner of your D show. And I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah. I'm the owner of your D show. And and so we live on that. Yeah, well, not exactly. Not exactly. No, I think here's your house is a little nicer. Right. All right. How

03:50

long has she been in business?

03:52

We've been in business almost eight years. Wow.

03:55

What does the irreducible mean?

03:57

It means to teach and learn at the same time. There are few other definitions. It's very much about the educational side. So you know, for us, we're an education first consultancy, and so your Nisha rings pretty true.

04:10

See, I'm always about education, and collaboration, talking, finding people with solutions, working together to come up with and solving problems, and of course, innovation. Hey, there's that your fan?

04:26

I don't know. But he's cool. He's a fad. He's gonna sit and watch Oh,

04:29

I know you. Sorry, we're on a podcast but we're gonna have a conversation to check it out. Okay, so so that's cool, because it's it really is and especially in the world of reliability maintenance. I just don't see how you can not be successful at it if you're not keeping current with the velocity of things that are changing.

04:56

Yes, definitely a lot of things changing. I mean, you know, a lot of things do say they say that will start over. A lot of things stay the same. That's right. You said you sort

05:05

of flew close to the sun

05:07

on that was right. That was a little close. So yeah, it's it's interesting. I mean, we've got a lot of new technologies coming to the field. We're seeing technologies used in new ways, which is always fun. But you know, at the end of the day, a lot of the basics, the blocking and tackling has stayed the same for years.

05:23

But don't you think that there's they're still having the same conversations?

05:26

You know, in some ways there are we were actually joking over in the yard. He shared with yesterday that we think we can take some of the presentations from SMRP, 20 years ago, and deliver them today and blow people's socks off with them again,

05:38

that's the case you're absolutely spot on. It's it's I think, I think today, this time, I think some of the conversations is there's that innovation component. Yeah, got it. We're all anyway, yeah. And it changes rapidly. And everybody's sort of hanging around the watercooler and they're saying, yeah, what if we do this? Here's a new use case, wow, blah, blah. But I think I think the technology and that passion for technology gets is a head of the human side, very much. Like it's way over here. And, and you're on version two, you know, already seven, I'm just trying to figure out one,

06:17

you know, yeah, I think that's very true. You know, we see a lot of times the technology truly does get out ahead of people change. And you know, let's be honest, as engineers, we love new technology. We love new gadgets. I mean, check out these mics were using right?

06:29

Yeah, they're kind of high end. This one's handmade right there. Yeah,

06:32

that's, that's pretty fancy.

06:36

Steam functions. It's right. And there it is. There's a reason you

06:39

like it. I know. It looks great. And that's exactly the same with all these folks out here. Right? They love that technology. But at the end of the day, if we can't get people to adopt that technology, or use that technology within their business processes, doesn't matter.

06:53

Yeah, if you have a cure for cancer, nobody knows about it, and nobody uses it. Well, those who died from cancer. Yeah. And that's, that's a dead shame. So with that said, era DCO. If you if you're you're truly about or you're looking at the education, how do you approach projects, clients? What what is that value proposition?

07:16

Well, for us, I mean, we really try to make sure that we are first coming to them with a solution that they can sustain. Right? And for us, that's part of why it's education first, because if we educate them on what it is, and why we're doing it, then they understand it, instead of just coming in and doing it for them and handing that to them. Because then there's no ownership. Yeah, no, he's just kind of going to fade away over time. Right, you know, entropy kicks in and it starts to go back to the way it was,

07:42

if I was an engineer, I would know what entropy would. That's right. I just know that it's okay.

07:47

I just remember some class in college, you know, we're just down the road from NC State. I graduated from there. So you know, it, pull it out from there.

07:57

But the reality is, is that that I liked that approach. I don't think I don't think you can. And granted, I'm not I don't want to simplify maintenance. I don't want to simplify asset management, reliability. It's, it's, it's a complex ecosystem, things change all the time I got it. But if you're not an organization that's committed to education, if you're not an organization that is committed to upskilling, I mean, if you want to retain people, I get the I get the risk, but you need to upskill because things change,

08:35

they do. Are you a part of that? Well, and they, you know, they degrade Right? And, you know, depending on what the topic is, a lot of people talk about the half life of education, right? If you're not using it, once a year, then can you really truly still execute whatever that is, whatever that task may be moving forward,

08:52

you're you're spot on in AI? So how does, how do you do that? How do you go into an organization? If you say, okay, education, is it I want you to get on a shelf and take us through that process of, because the reality is just just so that we're all on the same page. This is a human conversation. Technology is a technology. Yes, we gravitated towards it, because it's just sort of cool. But it's a human conversation.

09:18

It absolutely is at the end of the day. So you know, one of the models that we use, and it varies depending on what the outcome is the clients looking forward and where they're headed. But, you know, one of the things we think is really important, and we use our in our IBL process, it's a blended learning process that trains individuals, you get an acronym there that IBL inspired blended learning. Alright, and it's a it's a process that we use internally to develop folks basically into internal consultants in certain fields. We've got it available for for maintenance managers and reliability engineers, but we also have it for planners and schedulers and MRO storeroom. And so what we believe is If we can get folks into that process, and it's you know, it's It's project based, it's got a coach that they work with, for an extended period of time, you know, they're actually doing the things that they've learned and submitting them to the coach that allows those folks to really become the experts inside the facility, then we can start talking about the implementation, but now it's supported within the organization. So if you look at many of the implementations we do, will have focus teams, and there'll be an IBL leader that leads that focus team. And as you go through that, that that person knows the big picture knows how it all fits together. But the focus team focuses on the details around work control, or the storeroom, or planning or scheduling. You know, they're focusing on those, but at the end of the day, the ideals job is to make sure that we pull it all together, that it never becomes a silo that we don't just have the storeroom over here and a reliability engineering over here and planning and scheduling over here. So it gives us a very cohesive implementation with internal consultants, internal leaders that understand what the big picture looks like.

11:16

Is there a specific industry that you focus on? Is this sort of agnostic? Of course, you're gonna have to use the the acronyms and the terminologies specific to the industry? Is this something that is just industry and it's agnostic,

11:33

it's really pretty agnostic. I mean, originally, we would have said, you know, it's a manufacturing thing, right. But now we find ourselves doing it in a lot of facilities. And the process works just the same, we use what we call our ideal ideal light bulb model. And it's just an implementation strategy. And we first started out in, in automotive, and then we took it to food, and then we've taken it to pharmaceuticals, and discrete manufacturing, and now facilities. And so it's a model that is repeatable, we know what to expect, we know when folks will get to certain points, and we can proactively help them manage some of the risk associated with it. But it really doesn't care where you apply it. Because it's it's agnostic.

12:14

So what's the impetus? So if a company comes, what pain are they dealing with? Like I just it's like, again, I'm all in me, sort of the beginning part will tell it take us through that, what am I

12:30

struggling, what you'll see, I mean, really, there's two things, it'll either be that they need to increase their throughput. So they they're in a sold out environment, they need to make more product, everything they want to focus on is making sure they can deliver what their customers need. That could be one side of the spectrum, the other side could be an industry where they need to cut their cost. So they need to lower their maintenance cost. And so they're going to do everything they can to make sure that we can do maintenance efficiently and effectively reducing the total ownership cost for those assets. Now, you can also have to do both, you know, there are some that are in industries where they need to make more, but they need to make it less. And so you see different mixes and actually, you know those different perspectives, and what they're looking for dictate a little bit about the implementation strategy.

13:21

I've got to ask the question, because I mean, you've started introduced to eight years ago, all of that good stuff. What were you doing prior to where you always sort of passionate about that education? What is it?

13:33

Yeah, so I started years ago, I came out of industry, I work for Exxon Mobil worked for a company called Sunoco, and then transitioned to over probably 1520 years ago in the consulting world. And once doing that actually got involved here at SMRP. And I can't say enough about the SMRP organization, and what they provided to me, but one of the things that they did for me is they allowed me to be the Director of Education. And it just really ignited my passion for helping people learn these things, so that they can sustain them long term.

14:09

I think you're onto something and it's always there's there's no way, by the way, everybody's packing up except me and you're the shield, because you're here. I feel I feel like a bomb went off and oh, man, I'm missing out. I don't know what the deal is. But, uh, we'll join him soon. Yeah,

14:28

we'll start folding things down.

14:30

During the Congress. That's right. Hey, can you grab that over there? Have it all packed up? I'm, I'm always passionate about education. And that's just education in whatever form it is. Because I think that that's a that's a that's an asset that can never be taken away, taken away. And I think that where you're at is empathy.

14:51

Well, I would say you know, at the end of the day, the only thief is time, right? If you don't use what you learned, you will start to see it go away. But other than that, it's yours to care. on and you know, I've kind of become a bit of a just a learner. You know, I started picking up musical instruments and fly tying is you know, and fly fishing and you know, they're they're things that I do. I'm not good at any of I'll be honest, don't come to my house for music. Right? But it's that process. It's going through that understating need to get the Gibson, is that what it is? That's all I need. Right here. That'll fix it.

15:26

They won't fix it, it will just it's a it's a it's, it's, you can play and it's like, it's like, rock, whatever. Anyway, you're playing with your guitar. And that's listening to you. And it's, Oh, you got to check it all.

15:39

I meant to check that out. Because, you know, we like shiny objects. And it's inexpensive, but it's cool. If Well, if it's a silver bullet, it makes me look like a rock star. I'm isn't a

15:49

silver bullet? Yes. Yeah, I agree with you. 100%. And I think in the world of maintenance and reliability, I think that it's at its core at its base SMRP. It's always about education. People come to this particular event, and people come to this conference. It's to learn more, because the industry changes.

16:08

Yeah, let's get I mean, you definitely got to give them a shout out for this your show. It's been it's been amazing. I mean, you know, you come here, there's there's over 1000 people here, people in my sessions, it was unbelievable how interactive they were, they were asking questions, they were having discussions with their peers, you know, it was just it was a very energizing, very energizing couple days.

16:28

And if you're in that business, if you're in the reliability master and asset management, maintenance, whatever, it's so collegial, everybody's here. They want to know, they want to kick us out. Because of you, Shon, but as long as I possibly can, after our 28 year run around. So, but it's it's so collegial because people know, I was struggling over here. I have someone here try this. And I and I think that that's a beautiful thing.

16:59

Well, I saw people in the sessions, you know, they would hear what somebody talked about how they had solved the problem. And then after the session, they get together and talk about it. And you know, that can be completely from different industries. In fact, one that I'm thinking of right now, I think one guy was pharmaceuticals nearly I was automotive. You can't get much different. Right? But but they had the same issues and they walked out together, they probably went to lunch and talked about it. You know, and I think that's the environment we want to create is where people can really learn from people that they don't consider their peers, but they really are.

17:30

I love it. I love it. I hate to call it quits here. I'm enjoying this conversation. Because I find that you're a brother from another

17:40

mother. This has been a lot of fun. Here's your big deal. Everybody. Everybody that has a hand assembled Mike.

17:52

Yeah, that's a that's a shout out to let me comment. Here. What's the name of that? It's on your trumpet ears, ear trumpet out of Portland, Oregon. It's very nice. Yeah, I'll tell you the story after this. All right. Sounds good. How do they get a hold of your shot?

18:10

They can reach out to me on LinkedIn at Shon Isenhour. You can also reach me right on my cell phone 843-810-4446 or at eruditio.com.

18:21

There are salespeople. And then there are salespeople. He's the ladder. Shon, thank you very much. I appreciate your time. Thank you have a great one. All right, listeners. We're gonna, as you can tell by the the clinking in the background, apparently we're wrapping it up here at the 30 have annual SMRP conference. I'm telling you put this on your calendar. I believe it's in October of next year it is in Orlando, it is a must attend event. Great people like Shon, and maybe we could probably corner him in for another conversation shortly. All right, we're gonna wrap it up. And we're gonna have all his contact information out on industrial talk. So stay tuned, do not go away.

18:59

You're listening to the industrial talk, Podcast Network.

19:04

Great conversation with Shon absolutely wonderful, great venue, by the way, go to SMRP. And it's in Orlando this year. Put that on your calendar. If you're in the asset management, if you're in reliability, if you're you're just trying to manage costs, which you should be, you need to be all engaged with SMRP Great, great community of professionals. SMRP All right. So I go out to Shon stat card. This is just wrapping it up. So I got this stat card. And it's all great. You know, you know that stat card, this is what he does. This is what he does. The best part about that is that yeah, we do education training, and all of them focus on project base, but the best part about it, and I gotta get out there and I didn't even ask about that is that they're located there. We are located aboard the USS Yorktown. How about how about that? This should be on the top priority. You gotta reach out to Shon and Team Eruditio I'm irreducible, just because that's pretty doggone cool. That's off the charts stuff. All right, you have to be about it. You have to be about educating, collaborating, and of course, innovating, because you need to succeed. You need to reach out to people like, like Shon and team introduced to so that you can succeed. It's important stuff. All right, be bold, be brave, daring greatly. Hang out with Shon team. They're the show and you're gonna just change the world. Thank you very much for joining and your supportive industrial talk. We're gonna have another great conversation coming from SMRP shortly so stay tuned.

Hey there, and welcome to industrial talk. This is a special episode where we were broadcasting live from the manufacturing and technology show. So you're going to hear some background noises on this particular conversation, but I wanted to put this on your calendar. This year's events. This is the manufacturing technology show and it is scheduled for October 18. Through the 20th, it is back in Cleveland, Ohio. And if you haven't been to Cleveland, you must put that on your bucket list. Great people, great food, great experience, you will not be disappointed. And of course that show is going to be even better than last year's show. So put that on your calendar. That is the manufacturing and technology show. So let's get on with the interview.

00:48

Welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott Mackenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge Industry Focus innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hard hat, grab your work boots,

01:05

and let's Alright, welcome to industrial talk. Once again, this is the number one it was voted number one recently of the best manufacturing related and industry related podcast in the universe. I don't know who's been voting for it, but I am going to run with that. Like I know what I'm doing. And we are broadcasting live from the manufacturing and technology show as well as the safety leadership show here in Cleveland, Ohio. Put that on your bucket list because Cleveland is a beautiful town with great people. You got to do it. Now. You're in a hot seat in the industrial talk Hot Seat. We got a gentleman by the name of Rick. Don't Don't Don't Don't don't jump in Rick. Don't Where's your car? Don't jump in Rick. Don't Don't do that. Full Weiler. I can't even read my my own chicken scratch. That's awful, isn't it? No, not really. It is it's You're too kind. Yeah. You haven't a good conference?

02:03

I am. I am. It's been a good conference. Yeah, it's good to get out to a live audience for a change.

02:09

Come on, you know, that's the case. Amen. I mean, yes, I understand. The Good, the Bad, the Ugly with the pandemic. Everybody knows about it. But you know, what, what I believe me personally believe as a positive component of the pot. We recognize the necessity that we need. We're, we're humans, and we need to collaborate. We need to, we need to do that. And yeah, see, and it's absolutely wonderful now, Dr. Rick, give us a look. What are you Dr. And by the way,

02:39

I'm a occupational health and toxicology. That's a

02:43

mouthful. It sounds important. Far more important than my title, not at all. So give us a little background on what that means and who you are. And then we're just going to venture into this transformational leadership because that's important.

02:59

I think it is to

03:01

Yeah, because you have a book.

03:02

No, I don't know. That's too much work. Yeah.

03:06

Yeah, go ahead and talk to us.

03:08

Well, you know, I don't think I can mirror Scott's enthusiasm. But But let's, let's get on with this. I've been in this field a long time. I've been in the health and safety field now for 62 years, and spent spent it up my major career with Procter and Gamble where I know their global director for health and safety. So that's the real world. Then I retired and decided to do a little consulting, little teaching a little speaking, little writing. And I joined the faculty of a little, little University up in the north, northeast Harvard School of Public Health, and I've been affiliated with Harvard now for the last 26 years. So that's Harvard. I know, I know, it's not that snobby. I'd never be there was but but we, I'm tired of the other side of that. So we, we teach a course and leadership and management for EHS professionals and it's just, it's just been a very successful course, probably the only one in the country that's devoted to leadership and management for health, safety and environmental professionals.

04:11

Here's, here's the reality of safety. And, and in manufacturing, or any other industry, it is always looked upon, with what sort of like, what a pain you're here to, to prevent me from doing my job, right? You're here to slow me down and and, and that has to change.

04:34

You know, Scott, that, you know, in my career I that's how it started. And, and I know when I go in to talk to a newly promoted vice president of manufacturing, for example, I'm sure they rolled their eyes. Ricky, you know, tell us what we need to do and get the hell out of here. And it early in my career, though. What I found was, if you can, if you can merge the the case for health and safety deal with the success of the organization, then you have an entirely different perspective. It goes from looking at health and safety as a staff cost necessity to a building business asset. That's not simple. It has to be done with hard examples. Yeah,

05:14

that is huge. If you can do that, if you can tie the bottom line growth of your business financially with a, a robust safety leadership type of program. Yeah, I think you've got something there. And you're absolutely right. I can say without a doubt that 100% of all facilities I have been in, do not look at it that way. 100%, how do we do that?

05:43

Well, well, you know, you do that you do that a number of ways. But one, one of the ways you do that is trying to measure your health and safety output in terms of business outputs. And the best example I can give I use is, is sales equivalent dollars. Let's say that, that an incident costs you $10,000. And okay, so that's $10,000 that you're throwing away. But if you're working for a company with a profit margin of 5%, they have to have $200,000, with the sales to make up for that $10,000 in loss. Once you communicate that man that message to senior managers, they care about the human side, but then that that business size is holy cow, I didn't know that.

06:29

Come on. Do they say that? Come on, you know that it you know, they sit there, they have an incident? And I know, I lived it. I know it. And I knew exactly what that was going to cost me. And they just like, wow, I didn't know that. Come on.

06:46

No, they they don't think like that. You know, they don't think you know that when when you needed to get

06:52

that widget done. I need to get that thing. Yeah, no, you're right, get

06:55

the widgets out the door. But it's it's a slow transformation, I had good experience at Procter and Gamble making that sale. And that's one of the things I still do professionally now is offer workshops on building the business case for health and safety.

07:11

Okay, so let's say it sounds good. All right. Dr. Rick, you're talking my language, here's like, Ah, this is great stuff. How do you go into an organization? And you've just talked to the executive people? And of course, there's always a rift between executive and people on the front line, and you got all that cultural dynamics that exist within an organization? How do you begin that process? And I would imagine it's case by case, I would imagine it's leadership by leadership, but how do you what sort of in general, what do you do?

07:43

Okay, now, the first thing you got to understand Scott is, is if I'm going to be called into an organization to work with them, that organization has made a decision that they want to achieve excellence. That's so so I'm going into an organization that is, at least at the start receptive to listening to a message, I'm not going to be invited into an organization to help them go from below average, to average. So once you have that, then then you got to sit down, talk with their senior management, see, see where they resonate. The last organization that I interface with at a had a very tragic incident, and they were very concerned about the human element, not the business element of health and safety. So you leverage that, and and then you build the business element in that. So they understand, hey, we're improving the human element. But we're also improving the business element and that synergy, and that's I know, it's a coined word, but But it's great when you get senior management looking at it that way.

08:45

Here's the challenge. I see. And I love what you're saying. It has to happen. We have to invest in a very methodical way in our safeties that that makes it like a good business case to do it got to do it, it's important. Got it. But over the years, you've got a lot of headwind ahead of you, right. There's just a lot of stuff. Hey, look at we've got the posters on the wall, and they've saying you safety begins with you. And that becomes numb and everything's Nam and and, and and we've had our executive saying, we're a safety centric culture. And then when everybody's like, Alright, cool, we're safety and that's all good, right? Until that motor breaks, and then I can't get my material out, and then I'm going to cut corners to try to get that material out. And then all of a sudden, to trust it's all of a sudden gone. It's gone.

09:43

Okay. And that's, that's part of the real world. It's gonna change everything, but you use the term safety culture. If it were just talking about this earlier that I do not believe in a strong safety culture. I wrote an article that article was is titled A strong safety culture. No and hell no. And of course, I did that to be provocative. If you want to be if you want to be excellent if you want to achieve excellent results, you don't have a safety culture, you have safety inculcated integrated into the organization's culture. If safety is part of the DNA of the nation, you're not going to, you're not going to have the problem that line breaks down in the in the demand or just saying, Oh, we're losing production, but we got to bring it back up safely. because safety is part of the overall culture. If you separate safety, he'll say, oh, yeah, I know that safety is important, but we get the damn production. Right. Right. But But if he understands that safety is part of their DNA, yeah, he or she is going to take a different perspective and bringing that line back up.

10:47

All right, let's shift gears here real quick. All right, you were speaking at this event? What was the topic?

10:53

The topic was a transformational safety leadership, and how to get an engaged workforce in a COVID altered world,

11:03

outside of the fact that that's a hell of a mouthful. And I probably couldn't spell half of us know. So what does that mean?

11:11

Well, I think I think what it means is, first of all, you have to understand the difference between transactional leadership and transformational you

11:17

talk to us because you mentioned it prior to this conversation, of course, that piqued my interest. What what is that?

11:22

Well, a transactional leader is strictly focused on on numbers on metrics, total recordable incident rates,

11:30

which is 99% of everybody out there.

11:33

Absolutely. OSHA compliance. And and so what I find is working with large organizations is they tend to be hardwired on the transactional side. And transformational leadership is where you do care about the output, but you care about the people doing the output. Okay, that's all right. You've got it. If you want excellence, think of a team. If you have a team, and this team is kind of well, yeah, okay. It's okay. But you got another team, and you know, their head and heart is in the game. Yeah, which team's gonna win the game? So I'm not about average, if a man wants to have average, I don't really want to talk to Dr. Rick, he's not about average. No, and I'm talking about Excellent. So I want to we want to deal with people who want the head and heart in the game, get their workers engaged, when their workers are engaged, they're going to drive better safety results, but they're also going to drive better business results. And we've got hard numbers to prove that. So what we did today was was talking about concepts and principles, people understood a transformational leader is one that cares about the workers, but cares also about the output. And and that leader has to show that it can't just be window dressing. Oh, and there are

12:47

skills you want to shoot something down in a jet second, yeah. spout all that and then not care about it? Yeah, absolutely.

12:54

Absolutely. So we talked about some skill sets, you have to be a good listener, you have to really show you care, and you got to be willing to engage. And that means from the boss on down, engage with the people talk to the people.

13:10

Sounds good. I like it.

13:11

You sound like a cynic.

13:13

No, no. And, sadly, sadly, I've been in many organizations, and let's say something like a mid to small type of company, where safety is important, and they have you, you can't, you can't have some sort of organization run like Mad Max, right? You don't want that. But, but the reality is, is that this is this is heavy lifting. Because when you have OSHA, and and, you know, your compliance, even even the word is its compliance, right? Very empowering. It is and you, you know, you shaking your boots because you want to comply with OSHA, and yet the data, everybody knows about OSHA, you have the data doesn't change.

14:00

Okay, take that. I don't care if it's a small, large or medium Corporation. But, but if that if that enterprise is focused strictly on OSHA compliance, they'll achieve about average, maybe slightly above average. Yes. So that's all they're gonna go. So my point is, unless the leadership of that organization decides, hey, we're tired of being average, we want to be above average, then the door is open to talk about how do you get there, right. And that's where you start talking about transformational leadership. That

14:31

is the only way you're gonna be able to do it. Yes, only way and because because you're right. If I'm shooting for OSHA standards, or I'll hit it, I might be a little bump, but I'm not going to surpass it. No What, why? Because I'm in compliance on right there.

14:49

That's what will get you the other. The other thing that will drive is in unfortunately, companies or enterprises might have a safety tragedy. And that might be a True epiphany Yeah, no, I've worked with companies that have had that. And so Oh, yeah, they're good for about a year or two, and then they're back to normal. I'm working with a company now, who's had that safety epiphany. And they're still committed to becoming one of the world's safety company, safest companies 13 years after that incident, so, so it doesn't always stick.

15:22

Yeah, but but as long as you keep at it, yep. Yeah. So, so I'm listening out there. Well, no, I'm talking. So I'm a listener out there. And the listener says, gosh, I like what Dr. Rick is talking about. I'm a manufacturer, I want to know about more about that. Transformational Leadership, how do I get started? What do I need to do? How do I get a hold of Dr. Rick? Well,

15:44

I'm I'm an old timer, and I don't even have a website. So the only way they're gonna get a hold of me is is through my email address, or my phone and

15:54

go check that email address. Yeah, it's a Gmail. Yeah, it is. Well done. And it is our D, F, BMW, and he's the president. Yeah, mad skills. I don't know about that. Oh, give me a break. Don't sit there over here, and then shoot down what you said, because you're an absolute Rockstar when it comes to this, because safety is important. It is. And we've got to constantly challenge and rethink of how we approach our business from the safety perspective. And I like that transformational approach. Thank you for being on industrial talk.

16:32

Well, Scott, thanks for having me. I really enjoyed it.

16:35

It was a good time, wasn't it? It was one tell all what the heck because it manufacturing everybody is absolutely spectacular. Absolutely. All right. If you're not, you're saying Scott, I gotta get a hold of this. Dr. Rick, and I still didn't get the email. Fair enough. We're gonna wrap it up on the other side. So stay tuned.

16:54

You're listening to the industrial talk Podcast Network.

17:02

Tara, once again, thank you very much for joining in just real talk and a hearty thank you to Dr. Rick. Full Wyler. If you're serious about safety, doing something about it. He got this trusted guy right there. I'm gonna put all his contact information out on industrial talk. Don't hesitate. He is a wealth of knowledge. All right.

00:59

could nurse. Okay, that's good. That's why Oh, a Kutner. And if you go out to his stat card, his LinkedIn stat card, you will quickly notice that he is smarter than I am. Alright, let's get cracking here. All right, we've got a couple of things that we've got to start to

01:19

do some business here. All right, I'm all about education, you know that that's what this platform is all about educating, and I'm all about collaborating, I'm all about innovation, you got to do that. If you want to survive, rebuild and prosper in this new world, you're gonna have to educate all the time. You can't come to me and say, Scott, I don't know how to educate. It's, it's a world wide web out there. There's a lot of great stuff in it. And the industrial talk podcast is dedicated to that education. Now I want to point out something that is just absolutely spectacular. This was brought to you by those wonderful people at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. It is the connected systems Institute. Now just go out to uw m.edu, forward slash CSI, get all that information and they're just educating the workforce of the future. So we talk about industry for Dotto digital transformation in everything underneath. And that organization is absolutely Dedicated To Your Success. How can you can't you can't argue against that either. This platform is just really just chock full of great stuff for you.

02:24

You'll have How are you doing? Oh, I'm doing fine. How you doing? I'm well, thank you very much. Thank you very much for being on the podcast. I'm excited about this conversation. As you can tell, I've got your to get your website up. I've got your stat card up. And I've got pretty much everything about you up even your form up. And

02:45

so we've got about about five days of information to cut into about 20 minutes of a conversation. We're not going to do that.

02:53

All right. For the listeners out there. Give us a little 411 on who you are and why you're such an incredible technology professional. Absolutely. Well, thank you for that. I I've never heard that I'm an incredible technological person. But we'll say we'll take it we'll take

03:11

your your your LinkedIn stat card is lying. Because it's it is

03:15

although your your

03:20

All right. So yeah, let me talk a bit about so again, like I mentioned when we were first contacted, I'm around for a while. We talked I talked with you. Yeah, it was around with mainframes, Vax computers. I've seen a lot of things taking over. I remember just to show you how not smart I am. When the first time somebody showed me the internet that was like that's a fad. Nobody's gonna look at these green screen withholdings data. And so, you know, that's the first time I saw

03:51

you

03:54

a big one. Yeah, there goes the smart compliment.

04:00

You know, I was listening to these private networks and stuff like that. That said, once it's started taking over

04:08

my claim to fame was co founding a company called Magento and 2004. Later we released a product called Magento. That was a b2c e commerce platform and open source one at that so we can talk about a bit the open source kind of approach and strategy as we call it. And that platform did very well. We got really good adoption I think at our height when I left it was about 35% market share of all online b2c e commerce stores. Yeah, that was great. With no number with no number two, No, nobody came second almost It was like very, very rare category. Maybe.

04:45

We were in some countries like Australia, we had 50% were number two was home grown. So we really took the market for the b2c market and that we can borrow some money. Yes, of course. It's my side business.

05:03

So we actually did pretty well with that we got really good

05:07

adoption, and learned a lot of what was happening in the world of e commerce at the time. We later in around 2011, finalized the sale to eBay and PayPal, actually, within eBay. And that went pretty well. I think the the product itself Magento is still around, it was bought by Adobe.

05:27

And now it's taking its own life form, it's ready in their version major version too. So great to see that the brand is still around. I mean, it's been, it's pretty caught 11 years already around. So that's Wow, that's right. That's right. Wow, that is a pretty cool. That's a cool, yeah. It's like, I refer to it as my estranged son, because we don't talk anymore. But I love kind of following up on the progression and success, you know, from the sidelines.

06:00

All right, so let's go down this road. And I want to make sure that the,

06:03

the listeners understand, can you just sort of level set, talk to us a little bit about what open source means?

06:11

Open Source, what does that mean? Well, open source is,

06:16

again, kind of a philosophy where you don't want to patent or close source, which is more the traditional term, but they they have code is that it used to be compiled. And it used to be used as a black box, you didn't see actually how things were written and done and implemented. And you would use the product, if you have to modify it or change it, you were limited to whatever configuration or API, or interface was allowed to you to use. But that was it. What happened.

06:44

I think it's already for many, many years. But definitely the 70 took a lot of momentum was developers that were not interested in copywriting if you want or licensing their software and actually provided the code that they wrote, alongside with their source code, with different licenses, which is actually the open source license, kind of story. But again, we won't get into that. But that license allows you to actually use the code and actually modify it with some limitations or not to your own use. So before all these modern Object Oriented Development and all that, that was like the best way for companies to take something that was very close to what they needed, but not 100%, modify it from the source code, without limitations and making actually sure that that works for everything they need to do. And with the biggest thing is no vendor lock in, because there was no necessarily relationship between the vendor the the actual producer of the software and the company using it, which was beautiful, right, because you would get somebody work and just build on that and use it for your own needs. That said, What happened usually around then open source is an ecosystem of a community of developers community of users, the actual software vendor. And that usually caused these open source tools to get developed so much faster, and adopted faster and get feedback faster, and move faster than the closed source solutions that were very limited. And that's why open source is something that's ongoing for the last 40 years in very high speed. I mean, a lot of people don't even realize and learn when I say people companies we talk to don't even realize that a lot of the tools that they're using are actually based or built on open source code, right that somebody was using. Now today, if we jump ahead a bit, though, this is as technical as we'll get, probably. But if I jumped ahead a few years now, today, the actual source code with older object oriented API's after I mean service oriented architecture and stuff like that maybe is a little bit less relevant, you will not necessarily go and modify the actual core code. But you'll build on top of it extended. But were open source is still very much important is like I said with the license. So what you're actually able to use it how you're able to use it, are you able to resell it, you're able to use it only internally, stuff like that. So it's all about the license today, and how you can actually use it for your own benefit. There's a big case right now going on, you know, with Google and big lawsuit there. So I think we are in a place where today open source is more about the license, the freedom to actually build on that use it commercially. Without again, the vendor lock in, which is the biggest part of so you, if you like the vendor, you work with them. If you don't like the vendor, you actually can invest in your own developers and make sure that technology works. And again, with no limitations, which is if we look at SAS platforms like Salesforce, we talked about Salesforce quickly, you are limited to whatever they expose to you. And you end up building a lot of these custom application living in third worlds around that application, not in exactly that hosting environment, not as efficient and as performance. But when we talk about open source, you can actually start

10:00

They'll modify source code if needed to get extensive use cases. See, and and from my perspective, again, correct me if I'm wrong, I like the speed. Right? Especially today. And when we start looking at, let's say, industry for Dido, all of that whole, it technology itself is just evolving at such a blistering pace. I mean, I just I don't see how you can not

10:24

get more into that open source type of mindset, and be able to deploy solutions that truly meet your business needs as fast as you possibly can. I don't see how you can ignore that. Which then brings us to this, the product that we're going to be talking a little bit about that, once again, listeners out there, it's Oro o. r. o, right, Inc is the.com is the website. The product is a series of Oro and so they got commerce and CRM and platforms and all that stuff. And I'm looking at the website, I didn't just sort of pull this off of my head. I'm just using their website. And I'm just sort of, and the the one that just sort of fascinates me is this Oro-commerce. Can you give us a little sort of background into that? And what is it? Absolutely. So Oro-commerce actually came from what, again, what we learned through the years of at Magento. So we like I said, develop the b2c e commerce platform. The problem was that we started seeing more and more companies that were contacting us that were not necessarily selling directly to consumers, there were more about selling to other companies, which makes them a b2b company.

11:32

We were much younger, and definitely have the ego to match that. And we were open source and flexible, etc. We said you know, we can do anything. So when we got approached, we said, Yeah, absolutely, we can serve your needs, we can build on top of what we we have already. But because we were so focused on the b2c side of the equation of this, yeah, we kind of left a lot of the basic kind of architectural features

11:58

out, right, we didn't focus on them. We didn't even know them about b2b at the time. So when we started working with b2b companies, we saw that fundamental features were missing in the platform. So fast forward, when I left the Magento. Eight months later, we created a new company called aura. And Oro, one of the products we kind of worked was on was the b2b e commerce platform, which is kind of our take on e commerce, but for companies selling to other companies. And so

12:30

yeah, so I got us a step in. So for the listeners out there, let's try to simplify it in a sense, it's like, Hey, I'm Acme, your beta, we can use this platform to engage in commerce Is that it? That's in a nutshell, that's it, we have three main use cases that we kind of talked about, and then we kind of start breaking out from but the first one is exactly what you said, which is the buyer seller interaction. Yeah. And that's the buyer doing some research finding a seller or manufacturer or brand or distributor that he wants to work with, they get in contact to get in touch, submit maybe a request for a quote, or CRISPR, pricing, get this pricing, and then put in an order, right. So taking all that world digitally. That's our main focus, basically, because this world is changing this world is, especially with COVID, we've seen that that conferences, trade shows were not even an option, right? That's where a lot of these b2b business and orders were actually done introductions, etc. So we're really trying to move this whole world digital, that's kind of so so I'm Acme. I'm a buyer and I'm looking for a seller, do I go through the Oro commerce platform to find buy sellers? So I can be in your platform and say, hey, check it out. That's, that's a company and whatever the details associated I can do that in your platform? No, I mean, unless you build the marketplace, which we'll get into that part. But when we're talking, we're just a software provider. We don't provide any services.

14:10

Right. So the best way to find you is where actually most researchers start today is on Google or on any other search engine. I won't get into that war. But let's say any search engine is where today, most researchers and buyers are starting their search today. And that's overtaking any kind of tradeshow, any kind of conference, anything like that. So if you build your site with a platform like ours, you'll be searchable and indexable and then people can actually find you. So you don't have to go through us nobody needs to know who or is we like to be in the in the shop. We like to make other people upfront and successful. So we're not like an eBay for b2b or,

14:53

or anything like that. We are not a marketplace on our own. We do provide a marketplace is one of our features or actual products.

15:00

But we are definitely about running your business, making your business so visible. And that's a big change and a big kind of attitude change, I guess, for b2b companies that they have to be visible online today. They're missing out on so many potential customers, so many potential orders, so many potential deals, because they're not searchable and indexable online.

15:22

So does your platform optimize that? Seo? Whatever, you know, dealio? Why? So I'm once again, I'm Acme. I'm interested in finding a seller of

15:35

I'll make it simple spoons. Yeah, go on my, my search engine. Right. And, and it's because of your platform, which is embedded in their site, whatever this spoon site,

15:48

you you give them a level of robustness that I'm able to find. It's like, hey, check it out, man.

15:55

spoony is right there. Yep. And that we will be actually running the website. Usually in most use cases, we are even running the front end the whole experience, customer experience, etc. We have Yes, we have other implementation, headless, pw a etc. But in a nutshell, we actually are the website that most people will hit either directly or through a CMS if it's a very big company, and they have this content management system in front of us. But we actually have the front end and the back end, you get everything in one. So let me start, let me maybe simplify our first

16:34

our first kind of steps that we usually do with a lot of very traditional b2b companies is just published or catalog online. So that means that they do have a way to get the catalog out of their eirp order management system where where we're not or a Pim, Product Information Management System, that where all the product information sits. But that information has to be published in in a e commerce style catalog style CMS, which is what we built. So we have a very good

17:04

platform to build your website that will actually make all your products visible online. Oh, no, of course, then SEO friendly and indexable and searchable, etc. So a lot of times, that's the first thing we do we come to a company, we say, look, if somebody searches for your products, they find nothing. Best case they find some, you know, this static website that somebody has a phone number on that's frequently goes to a

17:29

phone number to a sales rep that doesn't work there anymore. Right? And, and, and that's what we do we actually create, you know, I'll go all the way back for about 15 years, we create dynamic websites, right, that are actually not static, you can actually update them, you can like any CMS, like you would do for any kind of website, but focused and specializing in catalog publishing. Okay, I got I got it. I gotta interrupt real quick, because you know that that data is absolutely horrible. When you go to a customer and you say, Hey, hey, let's just get this thing online. Let's make it all robust in everything. Give us your catalog.

18:05

That's when it starts. Absolutely. With many we have manufacturers of nails. So when we told her to give us a picture, we say, well, and nails and nail, you know. So yeah, we just have to adjust to how we show the data. So yeah, images, maybe not the strongest suit for that industry. And that's acceptable. Again, you are dinged on Google and all that. But you know, it doesn't change the fact that your competitors will not have better pictures of nails. Right. So for that industry is so cool. Okay, continue man.

18:37

Asian By the way, I'm enjoying this conversation a lot. Thank you.

18:42

I sometimes Yeah, it's nice to meet people that find b2b e commerce. Interesting, because a lot of people would say, Yeah, when I say um, yeah, when I say I'm like in the b2b commerce business, everybody's like what Say again? What, what is that? It's like,

19:00

No, no, but we really love it. I mean, one of my passions and the reason I'm actually doing this, it's,

19:07

it's because I really like coming to companies and kind of automating digitizing a lot of what they do. It's really something I've been doing for many, many years since I, my first professional, out of the army was, like, career as a developer was on a salary program that I was we were developing way back then. And just like for HR and stuff like that, and we would come to companies and automate the whole, you know, HR salary kind of processing and stuff like that. So it was like, you know, who cared, but back then we were, you know, making people's lives so much easier. And it's something that we were, I really liked. I really like coming to a company and saying this, three months down the road, that how much we can help them how much we could have saved them time and, and made their life easier and more productive. And I think when we talk about e commerce, we're putting that on steroids. It's like we can today, really, this

20:00

digitize any process that your company does? automated? And the big question is, what our big problem is we do not replace the sales guys, we actually make them more efficient, more able to find new customers easier, right, which is a lot of the CRM pitch. But we are definitely helping the companies stay relevant, be able to survive pandemics and stuff that a lot of people didn't realize that might happen. But really the way the world works today, it's digital. Right. And, and we're seeing this throughout the sales process. Like I mentioned, most research will be started online today, even if

20:39

I have to go on a tangent here. What's your viewpoint on? Because I'm all into what you're talking about? What's your viewpoint on? conferences?

20:50

Well, conferences are great. I mean, especially we have we have a lot of business in Europe. And and they're shaking hands, having a cup of coffee is still a part of how you do business. I think the shock of the pandemic and and our European customers was a bit bigger. We actually had still salespeople traveled there, and we were like, what's happening today? Well, they will, they won't shake, you know, they won't sign the deal without shaking the hand. So it's something that it's still relevant, I don't think it will go away, I think, you know, people are still happy to meet each other. But like I said, you can come much more informed to the to conference, right? If you before you go to a conference, you can actually start searching online, some of these companies. Now, if you come in form, you can maybe already start requesting pricing before. So when you get there, you just don't waste your time on the whole cycle of the meeting of handshaking. And then you can come much more prepared. And, and not only that, let me let me give you another thing we're doing for a real customer of ours. And we went through their trade show, we saw how that happened. That works there in the animal, kind of their animal supply distributor, and they're like, pet food, pet supplies, stuff like that. Yeah. And that's a huge conferences. It's really a thing to see. Right. I went to Vegas, we saw that conference, that the thing that we're helping them accept everything that we're doing on the online strategy, and all that, with the conference in mind is that we are digitizing how the orders are taken in the conference itself, right? We added these booths with touchscreens that a sales rep can walk in with,

22:24

you know, a new customer or an existing customer, for that matter, pull all their data, pull the relevant catalog, pull all their special pricing in front of them. Before that they had these booklets right with this huge price books and stuff like that. And everybody had to remember, and there was constant screaming when I went there was constantly No, did you know the price for that guy, he's from Cleveland, you know, what's the best that we can give them? It was more like a meat market and actual like a sausage grinder Yeah, then then like a like a conference for you know about having a relationship with your customer. And once we did some pilot with that, we saw that one of the things that actually really helped was we decrease the number of errors in entering these orders the king in these are errors, the order sorry, later, right? Because you would write it on paper. All these papers, go back to the office, and then the sales reps used to start keying them in counting mistakes and not being able to read that. So just there, we were already improved. By the time the customer got back home from the conference, the order might have already been waiting for them there. Right. And it's something that we're really changing and improving. I think the customer experience, usability efficiency.

23:38

That's all connected to our system. This these kiosks are just another front end, basically, instead of a web based. It's just another front end of our application.

23:49

Okay, I mean, I'm all in. Why aren't people all in? Well, big deal. Yeah, that's that's where we started seeing the challenges. So I think one of the things and again, I'm looking at my previous life at Magento versus where I am today, in the b2c world, we really hit the wave on the right, I'm from California, sorry, I might have some surfing

24:11

analogies, but

24:13

but we hit the wave really, when it was peaking. And we really, you know, everybody was changing the way they're doing business. They understood that they have to sell direct to consumers, a lot of brands, we actually, when we released Magento a lot of brands that were not traditionally selling direct to consumers, even big brands decided because of the old kind of crash, that they have to start improving business and why not start selling directly to consumers. So we saw a lot of that happening. So there was really a perfect storm in terms of how people were changing their attitudes on selling directly to consumers. I think today with the b2b, we are on the cusp of the same kind of moment. A lot of businesses have to kind of update the way they're doing business. They have to maybe get out of their circle of customers and expanded International. I know

25:00

a bad word for many. But selling cross border, especially in Europe, we see this more and more taking over and and for a while in Europe, of course. But I think in the US, the US market will also have to kind of learn to deal with other countries. So definitely have to have b2b

25:19

kind of platforms that will allow these features to be implemented. So companies can actually modify the way they do business. That's it when we come to companies and we talk technology to sometimes a surprise how behind the curve they are when it comes to technology. We talked about mainframes and let me let me throw another term with you as 400. Still around europese, right. that are that are archaic, you cannot change anything. They're like, No, we asked him, can you change this API? and

25:50

Roger will pick up the phone, he's retired, you know, it's like, these are the answer is yes. It's expensive as Hell, yeah.

25:59

It is expensive. But we're really, really finding that they're really behind the curve and technology. Like I said, a lot of times where we start from is just

26:10

publishing their catalogue online, which seems trivial. But like you said, it's not at all because the product information is not there, the quality of the product information is not suitable. So that's not an easy, I talked about it like it's a trivial thing. It's not it's changing the culture of how you talk about your product, what content you have about your product. What if you, if you are a distributor, you need to get that content from your merchants that are selling through your manufacturers, to your manufacturer, you need to get it from your supply line, right, who's ever giving you those descriptions? So a lot of a lot of non trivial things on the culture of how the company is actually operating. And that's across the board. We're getting pushback from the marketing team. They don't know what to work with, necessarily with online marketing. They know more about print marketing. It's about the sales team doesn't want.

27:00

We're just telling you right now. All right, we're gonna have to wrap this up. I mean, come on. You guys have got to be in Hey, if you guys go out to orange ink, that's o r o inc.com. Click on orocommerce. There is a demo a demo of the platform that I think you need to take notice of listener. Don't come to me and say you don't have an idea or a solution. This is cool stuff. Dead sexy. Are you active out on LinkedIn there? Yup. Yep, absolutely. Okay, you're gonna have every gun link, no demand for this company, this individual and the value proposition that they bring to the table. b2b is the way to go. I like it a lot. Thank you for joining

27:46

it, this was great. We could talk for hours, I'm telling.

27:50

I'm just trying to spare the listeners of the the this. All right, we're gonna wrap it up. Thank you very much. We're gonna have another great interview just around the corner. So thank you.

00:07                                   All right, you listeners out there. Thank you very much for joining stratum radio. We're going to begin a series with a gentleman by the name of Michael Snyder. He is with Stratum Consulting and we're talking about the last mile configuration and user adoption. Let's get going.

00:25                                   Okay. We decided that we needed to do this series because there's a lot of people who aren't deploying systems out there, right? And, and uh, if you've ever been a part of a, uh, a system deployment, you know that there are challenges and really the, the biggest and probably the best part of being able to deploy these things is try to figure out how to do it efficiently and effectively. So that's why we created the series with stratum consulting with Michael Snyder and it's that, you know, everybody just recognize everybody just gives this big bang, boom, get it out there, deploy the system. But it's really that last mile configuration and user adoption. So this is a, a one into three series and we're going to be talking about in this episode front end configuration for usability. The next one is back in configuration of off corporate business rules, which are very important.

01:21                                   And then finally the integration with legacy systems. How to do that effectively so that when you do get it done, that's this last mile, it's effective and people have that greater adoption. So welcome Michael Snyder. He's going to be, it's pen and paper time. Everybody pen and paper time. Let's get ready. These are 10 minute segments. Pop, get going. Let's get moving. So here's Michael Schneider. All right, welcome to Stratum radio. We're going to be talking a little bit in this series. We're going to be talking about the last mile configuration and support of the end user adoption, which is very important. This is one of probably three, four, you know, topics that are really designed about supporting that end user adoption. Now we've got a gentleman by the name of Michael Snyder. He's with Stratum, he's a senior pro and all that stuff. He's got a stack card out there on LinkedIn. That's a pretty incredible, so I highly recommend that you go on out to LinkedIn, find Michael Schneider, stratum consulting. Reach out to that gentleman. Now, Michael, we're going to be talking a little bit about front end configuration for usability and, and for me, I just want to let you know I've been a lot of part of a lot of implementation and usability and end user adoption is just absolutely vital to the success of any implementation. Can you give the listeners of stratum radio just sort of that, why is front end configuration for usability so important?

02:57                                    The reason that the front end

03:00                                    is so important and the configuration of front end important is that's where the users interface with the application. If they don't like that application, they aren't going to use it. And if they don't use it, then the uh, organization is not going to benefit from all the great data that you've collected to be able to do the analytics and all the backend analysis that you need to do to improve your business. But if the users aren't using it, you know, you're, you're out of luck.

03:28                                    Yeah. And that's a real, a good point. If, if, if I don't like the look, feel, and it is, it's, it's sort of vanity in a sense. If I don't like the look and feel of my interface and if I'm not able to quickly access and get information out that is relevant to my success, to my business, to my job, whatever it might be, I'm not gonna use it. I'm going to, I'm going to find the easiest way to circumvent that problem. What do you do to ensure that you are configuring the system with usability in mind?

04:04                                    Um, it's more a matter of, of of talking to the end users getting their, their input. You know, when they work with the screens, you need to find out if there's a faster way that they can actually do that. Uh, do we need to fill in some more default values? Do we need to be able to validate data based on other pieces of information? Are there, and we need to highlight the important things that you want them to be able to enter and we need to give them messages about what's happening, you know, when the top of the screen rather than it to get caught up in a window that they have to click on. If we can minimize the number of clicks for them to get their job done, they'll do their job in the system rather than some other way.

04:46                                    But that requires a lot of, okay, upfront it's detail and you've got to get everybody into the room and you've got to flow that stuff out on a map and say, okay, a why and have that debate of why that information's important and be able to remove multiple clicks. So, and, and I would imagine, correct me if I'm wrong, Michael, that that ability to be able to do that, to get everybody in the room and hash that out creates greater ownership. And, and of course our end user adoption is positively impacted, right?

05:27                                    That, that, that's exactly right. I mean, you need to, you need to build that ownership. You need to, uh, to get them involved in the, in the, in the system, uh, from the start. Um, you're going to be able to bring on a plain vanilla application that does everything that the organization wants to be able to do that. That's where, uh, the strength of in for EAM is, is it's a powerful tool that's built directly to a specific industry. But then when you start working with the specific company that you're doing, they've got different business rules that are um, that need to be modified. You know, everybody's organization structure is not the same. Their cost code structure's not the same. The information that's most important to them is not necessarily the same. So this is where stratum can come in and help them to configure that front end to meet the needs of the organization above and beyond what the industry, the structure of that

06:25                                    I would imagine. And, and, and you listeners out there, I that is a non negotiable. If you're entering and you're going down the road of implementing a system, uh, you've got to evaluate the system one and say is it flexible, configurable, does it have a good user experience? Those are all key to your business success. And I mean that's, that's a non negotiable. It has to happen that way. Or your or your end users are going to, for lack of a better term, pencil whip data. And it's going to be useless to you if you don't do it upfront. And I would imagine Michael doing it up front, having that pinpoint focus on me and able to lay those processes out, remove, you know, the, the not the inefficiencies [inaudible] vitally from a cost perspective. You don't want to head down that implementation and then you find yourself at the last whatever, 5% and you got to reconfigure, you got to do it up front cost-wise.

07:33                                    But there are some advantages that Infour EAM gives you. They allow you to be able to do some of those configurations at the tail end of the, of the system to be able to uh, yeah, to be able to make it, um, look and feel a little bit different to be able to support these, these, these, these needs. And when we build a system, you know, we focus on getting the system implemented and then we go and we can, we can tweak the, the, the, the look and feel, you know, what, what are the important things that you've run into now that you've actually started demo in the system? We're using the system, um, uh, based on how it's been configured for you as an organization. So we can actually use some of that last mile configuration work towards the end and we interact the customer support group, we do a lot of that even post-implementation to be able to help them to be able to get better adoption if they aren't getting the type of use of the system that they're expecting.

08:35                                    That's pretty doggone powerful. And it, cause I, I've always been of the opinion or I've experienced it, let's just, let's just lay it out there. I've experienced the, the joy of missing something and then try to figure it out at the end of a, of an implementation. It happens. And, and you, what you're telling me the product for EAM has a level of flexibility. How the a configurability capability, there's a lot of abilities in there, um, to be able to sort of minimize or, or, or, you know, sort of work around that if we're, if for any reason you had a situation where it's like, Oh gosh, I forgot.

09:15                                    Yeah, I mean that, yeah, that's, I mean that's the power of, of in for EAM is they give you these configuration tools that are, are built into the product suite so that you can make these configuration changes on the front end and they are fully upgradeable. So when you move from one version to the next version, if you're running in the cloud and they're going to hit you with an upgrade, you're pretty much guaranteed that these configurations that you're putting in there are gonna continue to work and they're going to continue to meet the needs of your, uh, of your end users.

09:50                                    Wow. See that? That's a, that's pretty powerful. So you listeners out there want to make sure paper and pencil, we talk about front end configuration and usability. It is key to end user adoption. Without a doubt. Pinpoint focus on that. I need for you guys to reach out to Michael Schneider if you're just like, Hey, that makes sense to me. Uh, stratum consulting is the company. The system is of course in four. EAM powerful, configurable. And you know what? We're going to be coming back with the, the, the next in this series and we're going to be talking a little bit about backend configurations for one off corporate business rules. Because not every business is the same as all the other businesses. They're going to have some rules that are going to be somewhat different. How do we handle those? Because they are also important. So stay tuned for the next, in the series of how we configure the last mile for end user adoption. So stay tuned. We will be right back.

PODCAST TRANSCRIPT:

00:01                                    Again Scott MacKenzie. We are talking once again about why you need to podcast. Now you heard my why, you've understood the necessity that I don't like the word. I can't. You can, I know you can as well as, um, the ability to humanize content. You need to be able to stand out, right? That's where we're out. Now we're getting into the sales component. That's where I'm really passionate about. Uh, if I didn't start the podcast back in my story because I, I needed to create a way of being able to, uh, bring about attention to my company and leverage something that is different in this hotel, numbness, this sameness that exists there in content. And now we're going to venture on into, uh, exactly what that is and we're going to just sorta go step by step because I'm going to limit the time to make sure that you understand and capture bottom line.

01:01                                    If you don't want to do the podcast, if you don't want to try to figure out how to do it, I've got all the information out there. But if you still don't want to do it or you're nervous about or whatever, you need to find somebody, you need to find somebody to be able to do it on a consistent basis because it is a powerful sales, marketing and branding platform. If you're out there on, uh, the watching it on video, we're going to go to a slide. All right? This is a, this is a slide and this is how I typically approach a target audience. This is how, uh, when representing other companies, this is how I approach my relationship with the companies. And now you can, you know, take off my hat, put your hat on and you can apply the same strategy, but we're going to go step by step.

01:51                                    So if you're out there on the video, we have four components for targeted audience market for content, okay? And one is internal. Those are internal people, the uh, partners, people that are partners to your solutions or whatever it might be, customers who have used your services in the past, like your solutions, whatever it might be. And of course that targeted prospect audience. So the first one, we're going to talk a little bit those, that's how I sort of arrange the way I look at how I am approaching the market using of course, the, the podcast platform. So the first one we're going to talk about in this episodes, it's internal. So once again, we talked about the podcast providing a really a human component to your content, your marketing material, your sales approach. And what we're doing with the podcast is being able to pull out that human component in the dialogue or in the conversation we have with whoever that might be.

03:09                                    And in this case, we're talking specifically about internal people. So I have a company, this is how it is. I have a company now I have internal people who would like to talk, who, who are passionate about what the organization is doing, what the company is doing, whatever that purpose might be. I'm going to identify these people because what I'm going to do is I'm going to build a content centric sort of strategy around the human, right? That's what makes sense. And I'm going to start with the easiest low hanging fruit out there. And that is the internal, those are the people that are internal to your organization. So what I do is I'll say, all right, company, Acme, whatever, my B, let's talk about getting some internal people that reflect and, and are a part of whatever you're doing now. It, it could be, it could be people that are in customer service, it could be your sales individuals, it could be, uh, operations, it, it could be a mix of all your internal people.

04:21                                    And this is what it does. One, they're very positive. It's an an without being an infomercial to your company. It's baked in because it's about your company. And what people hear is like, wow, they're very happy about this company. They're very passionate about what they do. They're excited about where the company's going. They like the purpose of the company. That's what you're trying to draw out in this conversation. And you highlight them. Hey, here's, here's Susie Q and we're going to talk a little bit about why she's so passionate about customer service. Here's Joe Guy and we're going to talk a little bit about their focus on, you know, maintenance, whatever it might be. But the reality is it's always positive. It's positive interaction. It is, it's just a great interview. You know what else it does outside of the whole sales component. Outside of all of that, you create an environment within your organization that's pretty excited.

05:22                                    It's pretty cool. Hey, you know what I did? I did an uh, I did a podcast where my company and it was a lot of fun and we had a great time. And just that alone creates a great culture, right? So the first thing out of the gate, right? You interview internal individuals. This is a part of building your content platform into a sales. And so you can, you can sit here and say, okay, here's the best part, another best part. Here's a, here's another part. You could sit there with this interview and then say, Hey, you know, customer, but you prospect, you know, prospect work. We're real passionate about our customer service and we just interviewed, uh, this person, uh, about customer service and why they're so happy about it and what, what they believe in. And these are the individuals that we highlight within our organization.

06:15                                    I just thought of you prospect, enjoy the conversation. All of a sudden you're giving information that is specific, impossible, possibly beneficial to your prospect about customer service, how your organization does customer service. It just goes on and on and you know what else? Now I'm going to take that podcast, I'm going to transcribe it, I'm going to use an automated transcription and now I'm going to put that on your website. And now all of a sudden, SEO wise, organic wise, now you have content, written content on your website that is specific to your organization, that is that you know, Google and other web search engines are looking for. And then all of a sudden you, you've got to keep building it, use your long tail strategies. So right off the bat, you need to do podcasting. You need to consider how to bring that into your organization.

07:18                                    And this strategy that we're going to go through over the, as long as it takes for you to realize that you need it, we're going to continue on this path. So today you got to think about it. Look at your internal, get everything all up there. It'll be out on industrial talk.com I mean, it's all available for you for free. And this is how I, me personally use this platform to sell, to, to gain attention, to create a better brand, to market my business. This is it. This is it. It starts internally and it makes people feel good. And you get your story out there, you transcribe it, it's all positive. So again, be bold. Be brave, dare greatly. I'm not going to belabor the point. Get it done. Become part of the podcast and let's see where it goes. So tomorrow we're going to be talking about your partners. So stay tuned. You're listening to the industrial talk podcast network.
