Interviews w/ Implementors
This is specifically about interviews that have taken place with implementers. We will be adding more context to these but it’s a huge undertaking as we’ve interviewed 50+ implementers on the podcast alone! This excludes consultants that have not done an implementation at their own organization but includes current consultants that implemented at a previous org.
