#99 Version Next, Now Part 3, Episode 1: Looking Up w/ Ricardo Madan, TEKsystems
The COVID-19 pandemic upended the global economy, but business didn’t stop—it adapted. Many organizations rewrote recovery and business continuity plans. Some companies reprioritized projects to optimize costs, while others created new business models and ways of working. Regardless of which path they took, the pandemic forced digital transformation upon businesses that weren’t necessarily ready for it. Speed is more essential than ever. Agility is imperative. Organizations are recalibrating technology roadmaps. They’re pivoting and prioritizing the “big rocks” crucial to creating a resilient enterprise in a new digital economy. The cloud is the greatest enabler for both business and delivery agility, but transformation requires bold leadership.

#93 Agility in the Relationship with Ourselves with Laura DiBenedetto
Today we’re going to talk about agility in how we relate to ourselves. While we’ve all grown up with unique backgrounds, habits, and things we were taught as the true measures of success, as we go through life we can often find that those things, even if well-intentioned, are either incorrect, or don’t apply to us as they might have been intended.. The challenge, then, is to find a way to continually improve ourselves in order to be better. I talk a lot about agile processes and how companies can use them to improve everything from customer and employee experience to branding and marketing, but today we’re going to talk about applying transformation to one’s self. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Laura DiBenedetto, Best Selling Author and CEO of Vision Advertising. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
