Merlin Komenda — Global Director of Implementation

How I think

i.

People commit to outcomes when they understand what those outcomes will actually mean for them.

Before any work starts, I make sure everyone in the room understands not just where we're going, but what it's going to ask of them personally. That's what turns agreement into actual commitment.

ii.

Most people get stuck on what they can't control. That's what stops them from moving what they can.

Stuck usually isn't stuck. It's misplaced focus. Once you name what's actually in reach, people start moving.

iii.

Hard problems don't go away when you minimize them. They become manageable when you give them room to be hard.

Some of my best work has been on problems we haven't solved yet. Keeping a team honest, engaged, and willing to try again. That's not a consolation prize. That's the work.

The work

Implementation as coaching, not process

The setup is table stakes. What customers actually experience is an expert who knows their business and tells them what to do next.

~40% faster adoption

Implementation

Implementation redesigned around the customer

We stopped building the process for us. Time to first value dropped from 30 days to 15.

50% faster to value

Enterprise

Enterprise implementation at scale

From mid-market to Fortune 500: 60+ clients a year, repeatable outcomes, NPS above 75.

60+ annually

Let's do hard work together.
