In the immortal words of Charles Dickens, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Covid-19 is challenging businesses and careers at an unprecedented rate. Organizations are transforming to meet previously unfathomable needs of their stakeholders. New skillsets are required to deliver experiences in a virtual world. How are you responding to all these changes? Whether you are a seasoned professional or early in your career, what your business and personal brand project will determine if this is the best or worst of times for you. About Whitney's Guest: Jacelyn Swenson leads Strategic Partnerships and Events for IBM Corporate Communications, working with senior leaders across the business to drive IBM thought leadership. Previously she led global brand programs on the IBM Corporate Marketing team where she created social, digital, and immersive experiences to make the IBM brand more relevant and engaging with its stakeholders. Prior to these roles, she developed community-based marketing and communications initiatives and led global teams that generated award-winning market presence, delivered sales pipeline, and exceeded revenue targets for the IBM Software Group.

Many forces and pressures have been building and creating a desire for remote work, which is the topic of today's episode. When you have a culture of mutual respect, trust, a clear and simple strategy, and outcome-based work, it doesn't matter if your workforce is co-located or distributed around the globe. A culture that celebrates the remote workforce opens itself to a greater pool of top talent which could greatly improve the profitability of the company. When I was thinking about who to interview for this podcast, I couldn't think of a better person than Bernie Spang, who I worked for on a remote team for a little over 2 years at the turn of the century. Bernie ran the WebSphere Studio Tools Marketing team that was part of the WebSphere Middleware Marketing team that was a part of the IBM Software Group. He currently is Program Director, Watson AI-powered virtual assistants, IBM.

My first post of 2019! I'm really excited to kick off another year of interviewing founders, analysts, chief product officers, so on and so forth, with the goal of having you take something away from each one of these pieces and conversations. Today, I'm excited to share the conversation I had with Michael Dziekan, VP & Practice Leader here at Outsell, about the Outsell DataMoney Conference for 2019. Michael is a seasoned technology and data market analyst and a global strategy business advisor who specializes in commercializing the evolving data economy, big data and analytics, IoT, cloud services, and artificial intelligence / cognitive computing in commercial markets. He has extensive large enterprise and tech experience, including at the IBM Software Group and IBM Watson & IoT-Platform (including The Weather Company). Michael has helped shape and inform future strategies, establish functional and industry insight, architect value chain ecosystem advances, and develop differentiated client value. I asked Michael to share what we can expect this year from the DataMoney conference. Why should folks be excited about this third annual event? What will attendees take away? This conversation turned out to be far more than a simple infomercial for an event. Rather, it turned into a summary of everything Michael is seeing in the data, information, and analytics economy and why this event was positioned a specific way as a result. I had a great time diving into this with Michael and I hope that you will join both of us in New York on February 7th!

Here at the Apttus Accelerate conference in San Francisco, I watched Inhi Cho Suh, the GM at IBM Watson Marketing, perform her Quote-to-Cash Innovator session. On stage, she revealed that 92% of purchases today are influenced by social, digital engagement & experience is now the product. But she also warns that although data is the new currency, acting with integrity is a call to action for all businesses She also told the audience that "Don’t use your competitors as the bar against which you measure yourself. Ask yourself, what was the last best experience your customer had? Regardless where hey had it. That’s your bar.” - This really resonated with me and I invited her onto the podcast to tell me more about how IBM is much more than a tech company and were ranked a leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for multichannel marketing hubs last month. I also wanted to find out more about how Apttus' intelligent middle office platform will be coming to the IBM Cloud so caught up with her at the event for a quick chat. Inhi Cho Suh is the General Manager, IBM Collaboration Solutions. Inhi began her career with IBM in 1998, joining the worldwide customer set strategy team for IBM's Personal Systems Group. She then went on to hold a variety of leadership and management positions focused on strategic growth, development, and marketing. Most recently, Inhi was the Vice President for Big Data, Information, Integration, and Governance in IBM Software Group, responsible for all areas of the business. Prior to joining IBM, Inhi was a consultant in the education sector focused on international student teaching and counseling for university and professional institutions. Inhi received a Bachelor of Science from Duke University and a Juris Doctorate from North Carolina Central University School of Law. She is a licensed attorney in the state of North Carolina.
