🧨 “𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞, 𝐎𝐝𝐨𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲.”

❌ “𝐎𝐝𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬.”

🤯 “𝐌𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐎𝐝𝐨𝐨.”

🔁 “𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐝𝐨𝐨.”

How many of you have heard this in your Odoo consulting practice?

Honestly, I heard many times.

They are true.

I respect these emotions.

But when I dig deep down to what could be the cause of this —

I surprise.

Not always,

But most of the time.

I observe:

👉 Odoo is not being used to its full potential.

👉 Wasting time for doing things manually which could be automated.

👉 Many customization not required at all — could achieved with standard features of Odoo.

So many questions…

😵💫 Why the chaos?

💸 Why they don’t get what they paid for?

🛠️ What’s the solution?

First, I explain to them that not everybody on your team is required to know everything in Odoo.

— This drastically increases the focus of the user to do what matters for them in Odoo.

💡 𝐎𝐧 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥...

I advise organizing the group of people who are required to do similar things in Odoo.

— and providing them with hands-on practical sessions

— so they can feed the right data quickly and use Odoo’s automation as much as possible.

📊 𝐀𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥...

I suggest leadership coaching to help top management change their perception.

— by teaching them what kind of analyzed information they can see in Odoo

— to make strategic decisions and design strategies for long-term benefit.

🎯 Of course,

each of the case,

each of the Odoo assignments,

each Odoo implementation

are required to be handled in a unique way.

No standard rule.

It's all about:

🧩 Observing

📚 Learning

🧪 Applying

📈 Seeing the result

🔁 And improving for the better.
