“There's the adage that the customer is always right, and that's very much as true today as it was 10 years ago. Now, that wasn't always the perception of folks in IT… but that is the north star of all great IT organizations. They are perceived as going the extra mile and providing outstanding customer service.”
- Johan Dowdy
“Employees, more and more, are looking for more than just a job. They're looking for growth. They're looking for a purpose… So, IT's role is to help employees grow continuously, to learn with whatever tools we have, and to do that naturally and seamlessly with the workflow.”
