Cloud Connections 2025 | St. Petersburg, FL “If you think you're moving fast, you're probably not moving fast enough.” That was the core message from Mike Tessler, managing partner at True North Advisory, in his opening keynote at the Cloud Connections 2025 conference. In a session titled “Don't Stop Believin': AI's Journey in Enterprise Transformation,” Tessler shifted the AI conversation from capabilities to strategy. Instead of showcasing the latest contact center tricks or flashy generative features, he dove deep into how enterprises should approach AI adoption—with urgency, realism, and a clear plan. Tessler framed the moment as a once-in-a-generation inflection point. Just 866 days since ChatGPT launched, enterprises have been flooded with AI solutions, but many are still struggling with actual implementation. “The field is exploding, but there's friction,” said Tessler, noting that while consumers quickly embraced AI tools, corporate environments remain slow to adapt. Three Big Takeaways from Tessler's Talk AI Is Only as Good as Your Data Enterprises must start by understanding their own data. “Almost every company says, ‘We don't have data,'” Tessler observed, “but they do. They just don't know how to surface and structure it.” He suggested simple tools like JSON to codify marketing guidelines or operational principles and inject consistency into AI-generated content. Enterprise Strategy Starts with Personal Productivity Tessler outlined a three-layer AI roadmap used at Boldyn Networks, where he serves on the board: Layer 1: Personal Productivity (e.g., Copilot, Gemini) Layer 2: Team & Process-Level AI (e.g., AI in network design/deployment) Layer 3: New Services & Capabilities enabled by proprietary data This layered model helps unify enterprise goals and align AI projects with tangible outcomes. Start Small, Move Fast, Stay Agile Forget long IT rollouts, said Tessler. AI adoption demands an agile, iterative approach. Small proofs of concept are key. “Something that wasn't possible last week might be today,” he warned. “So get started now.” Real-World Use Cases: Where AI Is Delivering Value Today Tessler concluded with four examples of AI being used to solve real business problems: Spinoco – Helps micro-businesses manage customer interactions by turning every message, call, or DM into actionable tasks, no CRM needed. Kiwi Data – Uses AI to extract key terms and obligations from decades of contracts and NDAs, helping enterprises get a grip on what they've signed. Tato – Leverages the “exhaust” of UCaaS platforms (transcripts, messages) to identify project risks and drive smarter project management. Intent HQ – Delivers hyper-personalized marketing using behavioral data harvested via mobile SDKs. A Call to Action for the Telecom Community Tessler left the audience with a challenge: "We have to change the way we do things—or get wiped out by those who do." He encouraged every organization to return home with at least one AI use case to explore. “Try something. Test. Learn. Iterate.” To request the slides from the keynote, contact: info@truenorthadvisory.com

Many companies are moving to the cloud only to realize that they aren't getting the cloud benefits. Not only are they not able to improve performance and scalability, but they're also paying more than they were before. The reality is that the economic drivers pushing these companies into the cloud, inevitably lead to large lift and shifts where monolithic, legacy applications get moved to the cloud without the necessary modernization required to reap the rewards of cloud migration. Today, those same companies that moved to the cloud are looking to move back on-prem or toward a hybrid environment to cut costs, but what if there's another way? What if you could strategically refactor your applications after they've been moved to the cloud and rescue your cloud initiative? Learn how cloud rescue can get you the benefits of the cloud while reducing costs.

“The mental and physical health of the healthcare team, especially the nurses, has to come first because if you are not physically and mentally and spiritually in a good place, you cannot help other people. We're going to have less good health care, we are going to have more errors, we're going to have less safety, and we are going to have another 100,000 nurses leaving the field,” Matthew Loscalzo, LCSW, executive director of People and Enterprise Transformation, emeritus professor of supportive care medicine, and professor of population sciences at City of Hope in Duarte, CA, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, BMTCN®, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about the stressors that are affecting nurses.

Highlights From Today's Episode “There is overwork, but there is something even bigger, even more sinister, and that is this evolving lack of respect throughout our society. But when it manifests in the healthcare system, where people come in vulnerable states to be protected and they have this adversity to those who care most about them, this is a profound change, this is a unique change. Although it is happening in society for all authority, when it's in the healthcare system, it manifests in a profoundly different way, and the impact on nurses cannot be overstated.” Timestamp (TS) 05:44 “There is that space between your brain and your heart that I think we should inhabit. We need to have wisdom, we need to have training, but we also need to go to back to our core values. The core value that other people matter. And mostly, I cannot help those other people until I am centered.” TS 19:35 “Structural change is essential, and structural change only comes with some conflict. And I mean healthy, democratic, respectful conversations with each other, with our teams, to advocate for healthier institutions.” TS 27:18 “I think with all people, but especially in the complex environment of health care, focus on what you can influence. Look at your life as a circle and see yourself in that life and say, ‘What can I actually influence rather than allowing myself to be frustrated by things that I cannot have any control over?'” TS 31:00 “One of the biggest problems is that nurses feel that they should just work harder, cope harder. I get very upset when I hear people say and I see it written that nurses should just practice more meditation. Or they should work harder. That is a misconception. It is toxic, and it is dangerous. We have to look at nurses within in the system, physicians within the system, all the healthcare professionals within the system, and say, ‘How do we get them healthy?' If we don't get them healthy, we don't have a healthy healthcare system. We don't have a healthy society.” TS 36:26

In today's podcast, we talk with Niels Rasmussen about outcome-based thinking and participative strategy development - a method of involving a large part of the organization coming together and creating and implementing the strategy - that's gaining more and more ground. This method comes to address rising problems that result in over 70% of all strategies not coming to fruition, problems fuelled by demographic changes, the pace of changes and the need for enterprise transformation. We also talk about why it is so challenging to move toward participative strategy development and what it takes to make it happen. One is culture and the second one is our lack of belief in a true ownership culture. We touch on how the OKR framework is a key factor to getting participative strategy development off the ground. Lastly, we discuss briefly about the 12 steps required to execute a shift towards participative strategy development, which will appear in an article co-authored by Niels in spring 2023. Niels Rasmussen is founder and Managing Partner at +RASMUSSEN, a consultancy and executive training academy focusing on helping senior leaders and business owners grow their business and their leadership capabilities in areas such as Vision, Strategy, Structure, Role & Responsibility Development and Implementation. Niels has more than 25 years of top management and consulting experience in Germany, Australia, Denmark and USA (Managing Director Hewitt Associates in Germany & Europe CEO, Equity Partner KPMG), as well as diplomatic experience - serving as Commercial Affairs Officer with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. Passionately Danish, he's engaged to serve as Copenhagen Goodwill Ambassador - following his 2014 appointment by HRH Prince Joachim of Denmark. Lastly, loving all things Danish - from a distinctive culture centered on lack of hierarchies and easy communication at all levels - as well as anything design-related (including Organizational Design), he's trying to bring this approach in the consultancy he founded: + RASMUSSEN. At +RASMUSSEN he leads a team of talented people who drive meaningful transformation work at global Fortune 500's (Allianz, Daimler, Merck, Valeo, Continental) as well as public and semi-public organisations such as GasNetz Hamburg, the city of Freiburg and pronova.

This episode of the Business, Innovation and Technology podcast is the first part of two episodes on business opportunities in the Metaverse. Podcast host Jordan Rogers-Smith is joined by Pim de Witte, CEO of Medal.tv, Elizabeth Kiehner, VP of Enterprise Transformation at Capgemini Invent, and Ziad Traboulsi, Director of Business Engineering at Meta.    The guests discuss why the Metaverse is making such progress and its implications for consumers, employees, and businesses. Platforms like Medal.tv are part of a digital life that individuals are beginning to care more and more about (and are willing and able to share only digitally). Whether they do so under their own name, via a pseudonym, or anonymously, is also an open question, but one that points to a more important truth: everyone has an opportunity in the Metaverse because it is a great leveler, allowing you to be judged on what you do instead of who you are.   The guests also discuss the opportunities for more immersive experiences and that there will likely have to be a next-generation technology advance to accommodate all the features and possibilities to come. As more people are willing to experiment and invest in the Metaverse, a strategic economic shift will happen that will provide value in every sector.   After you listen, connect with podcast host Jordan Rogers-Smith and guests Pim de Witte, Elizabeth Kiehner, and Ziad Traboulsi on LinkedIn. You can also visit Medal.tv to use for your own gameplay or Capgemini Invent to learn about the many services they offer. 

This episode of the Business, Innovation and Technology podcast focuses on the different ways the Metaverse continues to develop, continuing a conversation from a previous episode about opportunities for businesses in the Metaverse. Podcast host Jordan Rogers-Smith is joined by Pim de Witte, CEO of Medal.tv; Elizabeth Kiehner, VP of Enterprise Transformation at Capgemini Invent; and Ziad Traboulsi, Director of Business Engineering at Meta.    The guests discuss the impact that millennials are having on the Metaverse, particularly remix and gaming culture. Sharing aspects of both can welcome and invite more people to share their lives in a digital format. This also implies that companies are paying attention to trends and creating experiences that engage current users and attract new users. Ziad notes that opportunities in the Metaverse await every industry and right now is an excellent time to seize first-mover advantage.    The guests also discuss the promise of closer family, education, and business connections, despite vast distances between parties, as well as the possibilities of new technologies that can take Metaverse users beyond using headsets.   After you listen, connect with podcast host Jordan Rogers-Smith and guests Pim de Witte, Elizabeth Kiehner, and Ziad Traboulsi on LinkedIn.

On the 14th episode of Industrial Transformation, Jeremy Frank is joined by organizational change agent Thom Brotski. Thom's 35 years of experience in reliability and maintenance across multiple countries and industries has taught him a thing or two about what it takes to orchestrate a cultural shift within an organization. Listen in to find out what he thinks is the most critical component to industry's ability to shift into the age of digital transformation and Industry 4.0.

Digital transformation looks different for every business. Sometimes that transformation happens on a personal level, as well as professional. Former Microsoft CTO and Principal Owner of Digital Future Consulting, Jennifer Byrne, joined this episode to share how Microsoft navigated a tough period by being more transparent and how digital heroes at all levels play a key part in digital transformation success. Press play to hear Jennifer's thoughts on… Finding the Digital Heroes in Your Organization “The true heroes in my mind... are the folks who did the quiet work of ushering that transformation through a company. ... [S]omebody has to hold the hands of a lot of people who are trying to learn a new skill who are going to be adversely affected by this. They get no credit. They're the note takers in the meetings, but they're the people who are the lifeblood of transformation, in my opinion.” Creating a Culture of Learning “When there's a culture of learning, and where companies do it well, is where executives take that to heart. ... There is no shortcut. You have to do it also because your employees will watch. You've got to be in the boat with your people.” The Future of Work "It behooves you to think about the technology that's already encroaching in your space. Think about the job that you do today. If you go to work every day and you know exactly what your day's going to look like, you have a fairly automated, repeatable set of processes that you do. And that's actually more likely to be automated than somebody who goes to work saying ‘I have no idea how this is going to go.'"

After years of investment in talent and technology, procurement has become a catalyst for enterprise transformation. No other function is in a better position to lead disruptive change and reinvention than procurement. But if we want to thrive in the ‘next normal,’ we must be able to go let go of the past, be bold, and embrace intelligent risks.  This interview, based on one of the most popular sessions from AOP Mastermind LIVE 2020, features Chris Sawchuk, Principal and Global Procurement Advisory Practice Leader at The Hackett Group, and Keith Hausmann, Chief Revenue Officer at Globality. They join Host Philip Ideson to discuss how leading CPOs are helping their teams re-imagine the ‘art of the possible’ and to drive new sources of value for their companies and for their stakeholders.  Key takeaways from this session include: Digitizing legacy processes is not enough to be agile in today’s challenging, fast-paced environment Procurement should not try to generate revenue, but rather work to enable revenue through creative strategies Since large companies tend to buy from other large, stable companies, procurement needs to be focused on incentivizing suppliers to deliver their very best work Capabilities that can be leveraged - regardless of where in the organization they sit - should be pulled into procurement projects rather than expecting to increase headcount

Michael and Greg talk through the topic of Design Thinking, a must-do for enterprises who are looking to innovate in their transformations.

On this special episode of The Six Five - Insiders Edition hosts Daniel Newman and Patrick Moorhead welcome Cristiano Amon, President of Qualcomm to discuss the impact COVID-19 has had on the tech industry and technologies like 5G.   Qualcomm’s Resilient Culture in the Spotlight During COVID-19   Qualcomm has always prided itself on its resilient culture and while this pandemic is definitely unprecedented, it’s not the first time Qualcomm has been put to the test in recent years. Currently 90 percent of Qualcomm’s workforce is working from home with 10 percent of employees still working on campus. Cristiano shared that the company is still hitting benchmarks and is seeing 90 percent productivity level. A lot of processes got put to the test, but employees rose to the challenge and are making it work.   Cristiano also shared that managers and leaders have seen a shift in how they operate. They have more responsibility now to over-communicate and maintain engagement with employees. Teams across the organization are having more video meetings and the company is seeing more messages via collaboration tech to keep morale up among employees.   Embracing the Opportunity   Times like this give companies the opportunity to show who they really are and many in the tech space are going above and beyond to do just that. For example, carriers all over the globe proved to be invaluable as other businesses are depending on them to remain connected and keep people employed.   Qualcomm has had a long history of philanthropic endeavors so it’s no surprise that the company has donated money and resources to a variety of organizations locally and nationally. For instance, when the pandemic forced schools to shift to remote learning, Qualcomm donated laptops to underserved students in the San Diego community.   Cristiano shared how Qualcomm shifted their own supply chain to help other companies secure parts needed to make ventilators. They also started using 3D printers to make molds for masks that many hospitals and medical providers around the country are desperate for. These are just a few examples from an extensive list that reaffirm Qualcomm’s mission to embrace the opportunity to use technology to make our communities and world better.   Wireless and 5G Technologies Contributing in the Future   We are seeing a few shifts right now at home and across a variety of industries when it comes to wireless and 5G technology. People are realizing the power that these technologies can deliver. Here are just a few examples:   Enterprise Transformation at Home. People are upgrading their WiFi networks, buying new devices, and improving their home connections to be able to handle the increased bandwidth to maintain productivity during this work from home experiment. Mindset Shift for the CIO. Prior to COVID-19. CIOs mostly viewed 5G and other wireless technologies through the lense of “how will this fit into my system.” Now there’s a shift to “how to adapt our system to serve my workforce,” which has included upgrades to the cloud, collaboration platforms, and turning to ACPCs. Use Cases in Remote Learning and Telehealth. Medical providers and schools the world over have been forced to accelerate their technology transformation. Digital transformation has been on the back burner for many years in these industries, but now it is the number one priority.   COVID-19 is Accelerating 5G Build Out   The technology that has seen the most growth during the COVID-19 is clearly 5G. This unfortunate situation has put pressure and spotlight on telecom companies to keep companies and individuals connected.   The focus for a 5G rollout until now had been in urban areas, but with most people at home in suburban areas carriers are making upgrades to support network capacity that hadn’t seen this demand before.   In general, carriers are able to build more now that there are fewer people out in the streets. Construction is happening faster than before with a resolve to make connectivity stronger. More base stations are being built, quotas and goals are being met before deadlines. In China, carriers built 150 thousand base stations in the first quarter alone and will easily meet the goal of one million base stations by the end of the year.   On the consumer side, while the roll out has been slow, 30 percent of phone activations in China were 5G devices in March — a huge leap forward.    And while not every country or region is seeing success, the economies that had previously embraced 5G are doing well now.   If you’d like to learn more about Qualcomm, the advancement of 5G, and other technologies please visit their website.

Software ist mehr als ein Werkzeug. Sondern der beste Verkäufer und ein Tool für gute Kundenbeziehungen. In der neuen Ausgabe der "Digitalen Viertelstunde" geht es darum, wie man mit eigener Software erfolgreicher wird. Mehr verkaufen und bessere Beziehungen zu den Kunden durch eigene Software? Was auf den ersten Blick wie Wunschdenken aussieht, ist tatsächlich Realität. Sagt zumindest Oliver Welte, Regional Sales Director bei Pivotal. Jeder von uns kennt das: Software kommt inzwischen in fast jedem Bereich des (Arbeits-)Lebens zum Einsatz. Und für viele Bereiche haben sich Standards herauskristallisiert. Tatsächlich aber gibt es Bereiche, in denen eigene Software den Unterschied macht. Nicht, was ihr Handling angeht. Sondern tatsächlich in den Ergebnissen: "Ich bin fest davon überzeugt, dass wir mit eigener Software bessere Kundenbindung und auch bessere Abverkäufe hinbekommen", sagt Welte. Als Beispiel dafür, welche Wirkung gute Software haben kann, nennt er Amazon. Der US-Handelsriese habe seine Übermacht auch dadurch gewonnen, dass seine eingesetzte Software den meisten Konkurrenten überlegen war (und ist). Generell gelte: Wer seinen Kunden durch den Einsatz von Individual-Software neue Services biete, werde über kurz oder lang auch höhere Abverkäufe erzielen, sagt Welte. Oliver Welte ist Regional Sales Director bei VMware und unterstützt Unternehmen dabei, ihre Enterprise Transformation zu beschleunigen.

To realize the maximum benefits of moving to AWS, you need to build a solid enterprise foundation and accelerate the migration journey. In this session, learn techniques such as: planning and implementing a landing zone, executing migrations with a migration factory, and iterating toward modern application architectures.

AWS has partnered with hundreds of enterprises undergoing digital transformations. In this session, hear from one of our leaders who works with enterprises to leverage AWS services and learn how they create new revenue streams, improve operational efficiency, and reduce business risks.

In this podcast, Habanero President Steven Fitzgerald and Arrochar Founder Peter John McFarlane will discuss why agile enterprise transformation requires a newer, vulnerable style of leadership that uses the core capability it seeks to embed: agility.

Stephan Lange, who leads the “Enterprise Transformation” group as a managing director in Accenture ASGR and is dedicated to scale new ways of business agility to enterprises, points out what “Beyond DevOps” means and how to achieve such a holistic transformation. Business Agility – the ability to have an impact from top to bottom of a company – focuses on companies' business goals by leveraging four specific areas. The primary focus is “Delivery Agility”, which includes DevOps and Agility, then “Product Innovation”, accompanied by “Leadership Effectiveness” and also not less important the “Organizational Change”. According to Stephan Lange the biggest challenges companies face are embracing new culture, training leadership, and changing globally. The key point to change is to understand each other, share the same vision, and to be pragmatic.

Instead of just being employees, Honeywell employees are now considered Future Shapers. It's part of the company's digital transformation and move to create a smart, convenient future for its customers. Future Shapers are dreamers and doers. As Ken Stacherski, Honeywell's VP Enterprise Transformation, shared, the company's internal motto is “The future is what we make it.” With those words in mind, Future Shapers are transforming Honeywell inside and outside for their customers.   The move towards Future Shapers starts with Honeywell employees who make the future a reality. Stacherski said that as the new initiative took hold, a storm of energy went through the company because employees were so excited to embrace the concept and create the future. They wanted to work for a company that rewarded risks and innovation. Future Shapers extends from employees to more widespread digitization efforts. Honeywell's digital transformation helps connect the dots across its 35 business enterprises to build more efficient processes and systems internally and externally. By streamlining things internally, Honeywell can also offer its B2B customers more streamlined services. The goal is to create a forward-thinking and connected company that is easy to do business with. Stacherski shared Honeywell's three focuses as it expands digitization: Differentiated customer experience. Honeywell aims to interact with customers consistently through the buying cycle. That means creating consistent experiences starting with digital awareness and moving all the way to after-market support. Data-driven decisions. Honeywell hopes to standardize processes with strict data governance and a coherent IT structure. With a solid and consistent data framework, it can make informed, timely decisions for employees and customers. Operational efficiency. By cutting through red tape and replacing outdated systems with more efficient models, Honeywell can work more accurately and provide a better experience for customers. The three goals show the shifting power towards customers. As Future Shapers work to define the future, they are expanding Honeywell's customer-centric culture and connecting with customers from end-to-end touchpoints. In the future, Honeywell hopes to continue on its digital transformation path. The Future Shapers initiative puts the company on the cutting edge of new technology and empowers employees to create the future instead of being disrupted by it. Focusing on customers and driving innovation creates a powerful company that could transform how companies do business.    

Last week, the biggest conference in the Agile industry took place in Washington DC at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. We were proud to be a sponsor of this event and we were even more excited about catching up with friends—both old and new. For those of you who couldn't make it to the conference, we wanted to give you a little taste of what it's all about, so we decided to live-stream our podcast out of our booth in the Prince George Exhibitor Hall. We had a chance to talk to a lot of really smart and interesting people while we were there; some who were speaking at the conference, others who were simply attending, and even a few who were involved in turning this event into a reality. Here are some of the highlights from day two. In this live talk with LeadingAgile’s Marty Bradley, we’ll dig into the topic of Enterprise Transformation and discuss how it’s different from a traditional Agile PMO.

In SPaMCAST 560 we complete our wide-ranging interview with Al Shalloway.  We continue our conversations about the troubles dogging classic agile, the Agile Industrial Complex, using a scientific approach to change, and FLEX.  I recommend that you listen to SPaMCAST 559 before listening to this week’s podcast  Mr. Shalloway’s bio: Al Shalloway is the creator of FLEX (FLow for Enterprise Transformation), a framework that is a platform for any practices consistent with Flow, Lean, and Agile, including technical practices. Al has made explicit his thought leadership in Scrum, XP, SAFe, Lean, Flow, design patterns and test-first methods into creating FLEX. FLEX takes a scientific approach regarding what methods work best. While it integrates with its own baseline of practices to offer a complete solution to organizations, its architecture enables it to be both tailored as needed to an organization as well as having other consultants integrate their own practices in it. The intention is to create a community of consultants that can offer the services needed by practitioners in a cohesive manner while avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. Al is the co-author of 5 books as well as the author of the upcoming book on FLEX.

Did the leader’s skill change between releases or were other random factors, such as luck, involved. Kahneman suggests a simple formula as a thought experiment.  Success = skill + luck.

SPaMCAST 559 part one of our interview with Al Shalloway. I am breaking two guidelines this week.  First, rarely do I bring guests back so quickly. And secondly, I have not broken an interview into two parts for 7 years (ish). The conversation with Al was full of huge ideas, s, concepts, and calls to action cutting any of the content did not make sense. Al and I talked about about the troubles dogging classic agile, the Agile Industrial Complex, using a scientific approach to change, and FLEX.  Edited, the interview was 49 minutes (with about 20 minutes of chit chat ended up on the cutting room floor - figuratively). I have broken the interview into two parts of approximately 27 and 22 minutes.  Today we have part one and next week we will complete the interview.   Mr. Shalloway’s bio: Al Shalloway is the creator of FLEX (FLow for Enterprise Transformation), a framework that is a platform for any practices consistent with Flow, Lean, and Agile, including technical practices.

Over my career, I have been shocked many times to see a perfectly sane leader stand up and show a single statistic or estimate which promises delivery of a product at a cost or in a timeframe that is well outside of normal performance.  This chapter provides a rationale for what often seems to be less than rational.

Enjoy this live, behind-the scenes chat with participants and presenters from the 2017 ET6 Exchange - May 21-23, Chandler, AZ The conference is chaired by Maribel Lopez of Lopez Research. Now in its seventh year, ET6 Exchange (formerly M6 Mobility Exchange) is the longest running hosted* enterprise mobility and digital transformation conference focused exclusively on bringing an intimate end user audience together with industry experts and solution providers to discuss strategy, policy, solutions and security. ET6 is the perfect platform to help build an intelligent digital enterprise. We've been discussing the move to mobile, cloud big data and analytics for over 5 years. Mobility, once an overlay set of applications and services, is now an integral part of the overall IT infrastructure. Cloud computing has evolved from bare metal to rich services and we now have the data storage, processing systems and analytics solutions to drive insight from any type of data. These technologies are the foundation for transforming enterprises. Enterprise Transformation has grown to be an integral part of ET6 Exchange and the conference's unique format will help showcase how companies are combining these four technologies to build better businesses. Episode topics include: Engaging the many-connected user Issues and challenges with today’s emerging technology ecosystem The return of the mega-vendor Introduction to microservices

Several weeks ago I interviewed Rose Fan and Molly Dishman of Thoughtworks. What started as a pre-call in order to get a better understanding of their work resulted in this episode. Thoughtworks is a global IT consultancy firm, “a community of passionate individuals whose purpose it is to revolutionize software design, creation and delivery, while advocating for positive social change”. In this conversation we cover some of the challenges and successes in transforming large Fortune 100 firms into Agile and Lean Enterprises.

In this version of our Sound Notes with Dave Prior, we speak with LeadingAgile CEO, Mike Cottmeyer on the rise of Bimodal IT Enterprises and how it is impacting modern businesses. Based on new research coming out of Gartner, we explore where Bimodal IT found it's roots and how it is being applied today. From there, Mike and Dave discuss the differences between mode 1 and 2, as well as how organizations can make the journey from a more traditional form of delivery with mode 1, to a more exploratory and nonlinear model with mode 2. Lastly, we'll explore how mode 1 and mode 2 relate to LeadingAgile's Compass for Enterprise Transformation, the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and what it takes to make the shift from mode 1 to mode 2.

It is not uncommon to see enterprise transformations fail due to a lack of enthusiasm from your employees. But now imagine a strategy inspired by video games, one that uses technologies and techniques designed to motivate enterprise staff through feedback, measured achievements and incentives. It’s called Gamification, and its claim to fame is that Gamification can not only improve workplace engagement and productivity but also increase the success rate of enterprise transformations. Is this just another management fad or are there some winning ideas to this game?
