Insights
Our Perspective
We know how important it is to see other perspectives, and for that reason we freely share ours here.
Does Technology Have Value
Technology has no value. This simple truth, although unpopular with some and seemingly at odds with conventional thinking, should be the basis behind every digitalization strategy.
Intentional Leadership
Intentional leadership is just that—intentional. This means that everything is for a purpose and that purpose has been thought out ahead of time in service of a clear vision.
Multi-Dimensional Digital Transformation
With everyone chasing the same digital transformation goals, we are seeing many people making some of the same basic mistakes. They are thinking too one dimensionally when the real prize and the real transformation that everyone knows is out there comes when we leverage this explosion in technology to drive multi-dimensional organizational improvements.
