People want to know what it means for them ... not for the company, the clients, the leadership but themselves ..
If you articulate and demonstrate that it is good news for their daily jobs or their LinkedIN profiles .. they will embrace the change and push fwd , even become a champion

The "what's in it for me" extends past the personal benefits, I think. A lot of times people just don't understand the details well enough to know what they should do. That is why I am a big fan of providing users with guided help directly in the applications and in providing then with contextual content.

Showcasing some successful external case studies to the stakeholders. Also, if possible build some POCs internally and demonstrate just to win their trust.

POCs are great, do you have a platform were you can do that?

I would appreciate insight on what changes others have made on their ERGs; any name/wording changes made, communications, change management, etc.

I work for an electrical contractor and use Procore to manage our projects. While we have been with Procore for over 8 years, we are not utilizing it to its full capabilities.  We are in the process of bringing on a third party consultancy to help assess our current needs and provide optimization recommendations. The two companies we are looking at are: - Avicado (https://avicado.com/), and - The Rollout Crew (https://therolloutcrew.com/) Do any of you had any experience working with either?  Appreciate any feedback or insight. Thanks!
