âIt wasnât like a pilot. They didnât feel the need to go scrutinize and validate and make sure that they made the right decision, so the [problem] just lingered on and on for multiple years⌠Itâs like the opposite of the pilot issue, almost an overconfidence that this will be your selected vendor and blindly committing, without taking a step back and actually challenging that along the way.â
Welcome to Nexus, a newsletter and podcast for smart people applying smart building technologyâhosted by James Dice. If youâre new to Nexus, you might want to start here.
The Nexus podcast (Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Other apps) is our chance to explore and learn with the brightest in our industryâtogether. The project is directly funded by listeners like you who have joined the Nexus Pro membership community.
You can join Nexus Pro to get a weekly-ish deep dive, access to the Nexus Vendor Landscape, and invites to exclusive events with a community of smart buildings nerds.
This is the fourth installment of a new series of shorter, more casual podcast conversations called Friendly Rants. These episodes are quick, 10-ish minute episodes on something that pisses us off. Everyone loves a good rant, right?
Note: this episode is exclusive to members of Nexus Pro. Youâll need to click âListen in podcast appâ above to add the Pro feed to your podcast player. Just takes a few clicks.
So why âFriendlyâ Rants? First, because our guest is my good friend Dennis Krieger (LinkedIn).
Second, because weâre not here to talk sh*t on anyone (unless they truly deserve it of course). One could argue that sh*t has been talked on this one and this rule has been broken. Hopefully, everyone sees that I tried to be as fair as I could and had to call out the company to tell my full story and get the truth out there.
And third, because weâre not here to complain⌠we promise to propose a solution to our rant.
Enjoy!
P.S. You can also watch on YouTube. Iâll be doing more YouTube videos in the future, so you might want to subscribe there as well.
