Episode 26: Why D365 FSCM Implementations Fail & What Partners & Clients Get Wrong ft Carla Teasdale

Testing is the most ignored factor in manufacturing D365 go-lives — and the implementations that fail almost always break down in the same place. In this episode, Carla Teasdale shares what partners and clients get wrong about each other, why testing gets deprioritized even when everyone knows it's critical, and the conversation that should happen at kickoff but almost never does. Carla has spent 16+ years implementing D365 Finance & Supply Chain from both sides of the table — as a consultant delivering implementations and as an IT Director managing vendors and budgets internally. That dual perspective means she's seen the blind spots that cause projects to derail.
