Odoo Implementation Should Start with โ๐ช๐๐ฌโ โ Not Just ๐ช๐๐๐ง or ๐๐ข๐ช.
๐ Odoo Implementation Should Start with โ๐ช๐๐ฌโ โ Not Just ๐ช๐๐๐ง or ๐๐ข๐ช. (Inspired by Simon Sinekโs Golden Circle Theory)
When organizations begin their ERP journey with Odoo, the conversation often starts with:
๐ What modules do we need?
๐ How much will it cost?
๐ How long will it take?
But the real magic happens when we pause and ask:
โ๐ช๐๐ฌ are we implementing Odoo?โ
- Is it to scale operations?
- To unify disconnected departments?
- To gain real-time data visibility?
- To improve customer satisfaction?
๐ Starting with ๐ช๐๐ฌ anchors the entire implementation to a meaningful purpose โ one that the leadership believes in, and the users can emotionally connect to.
๐ก Here's How Simon Sinekโs Model Applies to Odoo ERP:
๐น ๐ช๐๐ฌ โ Purpose, cause, or belief
๐ง โWe believe our business deserves operational clarity, agility, and the power to make data-driven decisions.โ
๐น ๐๐ข๐ช โ The process
๐ ๏ธ โWeโll implement Odoo with best-fit configurations, user-centric design, and scalable automation.โ
๐น ๐ช๐๐๐ง โ The result or product
๐ โA fully functional ERP system with modules like CRM, Sales, Inventory, and Accounting, all aligned with business goals.โ

Misaligned priorities

๐ฌ Takeaway:
Don't implement Odoo just because it's powerful.
Implement it because your business has a powerful reason to evolve.
