Episode Description

We live in an “app-driven” world, fueled by brimming creativity and innovation. Technology is everywhere, the world continues its march toward increased digitization, and as a global society we are ever more dependent on our gadgets to get us through our day and keep us productive at work. But are we really making the best use of technology that we could? Are the companies we work in and run making the most prudent use of technology to fuel innovation, reduce monotonous tasks, and empower employees to contribute their highest talents? In this episode, we talk with Rackspace’s Chief Digital Officer to learn his own personal secrets for using technology productively, how he supports his customers to achieve their ideal customer experience, and his thoughts about where the future of technology is headed.
