John - you need to do a series about all this amazing knowledge you keep finding: "Gold in Cardboard Boxes!" So much good stuff you're finding from so many bright minds in the industry - and an awesome impact over the years. What you put here is profound: "99% of us underestimated the impact on the B2B Industrial and Construction business." It's because the industry had other worries, right? - Is the housing market going to recover? - How are banks going to lend and finance construction? - Was the government going to spend on infrastructure? - What are we going to do with these crazy tech-savvy millennials? - What the heck is this social media thing anyways?! Thanks for sharing this - it's a big reminder of Amara's law: "We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run."

TGI Friday Post: I believe there is a critical opportunity for NETbuilder to assist organizations in navigating Digital Transformation. The journey towards success is underpinned by a modernized approach to new platforms and applications that encompass people, process, and technology. In collaboration with our Agile partners, we have identified the critical need for organizations undergoing transformation to adapt their own organizational behavior and mindset. Business and digital transformation entail a multi-approach that focuses on People, Process, and Technology. I've observed many organizations embracing agile capability development processes for continuous improvement. The key to any successful transformation lies in prioritizing people and transferring knowledge (Skills) consistently across teams to enhance operational efficiency at every phase of the transformation process. #scrum #Lean #SkillsNow In any transformation, there can be no half measures.
