Episode Description
A new reality has been set in the world. That reality is the movement of people and goods, globally, provides a new set of opportunities and challenges, which specifically cannot be predicted, but should be anticipated. Today's crisis is the disease, coronavirus disease, (COVID-19), and the virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). And the next could be another virus. It could be an internet outage of a massive scale. It could be a terrorist attack. It could be a ….. It is a bit unnerving that the reaction of most organizations is just that – reactive and crisis driven. Perhaps now is the time to look at active approaches for developing resilient organizations, in anticipation of the next disruptive event. Yes, I have introduced a word that we will now amplify.

The 2020’s Enterprise is about sorting through the internet-driven advice madness that exists in business today. The great thing about the internet is that anyone can write anything about anything. The problem with the internet is that anyone can write anything about anything! Published practices are quite different than “best practices.” This program will provide practice-based insights in business transformation, organizational transformation and technology transformation, based on real world practices. Business executives, managers, practitioners, and staff are bombarded daily with utopian solutions that more often than not deliver significantly less than promised. This show is “no jargon,” just human communication. Be treated like a “customer” not a “user.” Our philosophy is to provide you with insights that can provide true value to organizations and individuals that face today’s and tomorrow’s competitive pressures, and provide a usable takeaway from each program.
