What if the biggest reason your technology projects fail isn’t adoption or software, but leadership decisions at the top?
In this episode of the Strategy & Leadership Podcast, Anthony C. Taylor speaks with Dustin Domerese, Managing Partner of Dynamic Consultants Group and a 3x Inc. 5000 founder, about why digital transformation efforts consistently fail and what leadership teams get wrong.
Dustin brings experience from working with hundreds of organizations across the Microsoft ecosystem, giving him a unique perspective on how companies approach CRM, ERP, and large-scale technology initiatives. In this conversation, he breaks down why most organizations are solving the wrong problem when it comes to technology adoption, and how leadership misalignment quietly derails even the most well-funded projects.
Anthony and Dustin explore the structural and cultural challenges inside organizations that prevent successful execution, including the impact of top-down decision making, the disconnect between leadership and frontline teams, and why organizations continue to repeat the same mistakes despite decades of data showing failure rates.
They also discuss how companies can rethink their approach to talent, why building internal capability is a competitive advantage, and how leaders can better align technology decisions with real business outcomes.
