In this episode we’re going to talk about transformation — digital transformation in particular. What is it? What do companies think it means? And what does it really mean. It’s a term that has been growing in popularity over the past 4 or 5 years especially. Awareness of digital transformation was especially driven up during the onset of COVID as many traditional businesses and industries scrambled to quickly reinvent their online presence and engage everyone from their own team members to their customers in an entirely remote, digital-first world.

Episode Summary In this episode we’re going to talk about… thinking. How to think about things when faced with challenges or opportunities, and some of the tools at our disposal to distill clarity, generate creativity, and explore divergent and breakthrough thinking. Most situations we encounter in our personal and professional lives we find ourselves somewhere between two modes: we might be exploring ideas and approaches, which is divergent thinking; we might be needing to curate and distill our ideas and approaches into a singular path forward, which is convergent thinking.
