Re: Transform Sigma CTO
The question is how, though--and wonder who has the true "secret sauce"--This was triggered in my mind as I saw this earlier today:

Re: Transform Sigma CTO
@mpouraryan, the answer is in leadership with each organization's staff and human capital. If we disengage them from the decisions and the process, or follow just a model for any corporation we will not get the results. We have to engage and apply the technology to the specific interests and needs of our staff. Not easy, but that is what leadership is all about today anyway! So it fits in that space.

Re: Transform Sigma CTO
The problem is that Human Capital is being increasingly discounted--as all know I have repeatedly expressed concerns about--how do we mitigate it? Can we?

Re: Transform Sigma CTO
@mpouraryan, truly there are "some" that are resonding that way - the easy and quick solutions - that is why this article and interview from Sarah is great in recognizing they are not developing the culture to gain the benefits. But there are leading advocates - Thomas Stewart and others, Gary Hamel, that advocate the upskilling of human capital.
I am working with a Dean of Computer Science with one of the California State Universities and the term he has referenced for me is "Digital Intelligence". So there are people that are thinking differently - the good news! Plus, our thinking community on Telco Transformation.

Re: Transform Sigma CTO
I would humbly suggest that we should deem it "Digital Competennce" which then transforms into "Digital Intelligence". We have to establish the competennce first..right?

Re: Transform Sigma CTO
@mpouraryan, excellent point! Yes, I fully agree - you cannot get to that point unless we build that competency.

The human element will always be the human element. At the end of the day, humans aren't their mechanical features, there will always be work for our brains.

Re: Transform Sigma CTO
@Ariella - That's a really good interpretation. And makes me feel a little bit better about my own life path. I'm glad this kind of thing is being pointed out and discussed more. I kind of wonder how many people over the years have decided to give up and quit because they didn't realize how hard it was for everyone else to achieve their success. Especially with social media any more, people tend to just focus on highlights and you rarely see struggles. It's good to know most of us don't arrive at our goals without a little turmoil.

Re: Transform Sigma CTO
@mpouraryan - I think that's an important distinction you make. And could be the difference between one hit wonders and successful bands overall. The focus has to be on a broad overall goal that should realistically be ever-evolving to meet the needs to the clientele and company. I recently saw a post by someone, possibly Richard Branson, a taxi driver told him to never work for money (I think this was long before he had made a ton of money.) I think if a companies goal is money, they will quickly lose focus and the ability to be successful. (This could be what's happening with Netflix right now.)
