🎙 About the episode

In honor of our Live Podcast Tour taking place during the NCAA Final Four Tournament in Houston, we were curious about whether, like Tournament-winning coaches, CIOs also have go-to plays and strategies to help them win in the technology end-user service game. John, Kenny, and Darrell opened up their playbooks to share with our listeners a bit about how they coach their teams to best serve their communities of reach, including:

• The tip-off: Customer-Centric Approach
• Under-the-basket inbound play: Anticipating Customer Needs
• “Sub!”: The importance of change management
• Half-time locker room talk: Long-Term Vision to win
• Full-court press: Vendor Partnership Qualities
• And more!
