Listen "Ep. 43 Interview Series: David Ketchen Sheds Light on Energy Management in Digital Transformation"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Business Breaks, the podcast where we dive deep into the world of business and explore the ever-evolving landscape of digital transformation. In today's episode, I am thrilled to have a returning guest, David Ketchen, joining me, Dante Healy, to share his insights on energy management in digital transformation teams.
David brings a unique perspective to the table, emphasizing the importance of avoiding organizational stagnation by continuously introducing new products or reinventing oneself, drawing inspiration from none other than the legendary David Bowie. He delves into the concept of static friction, discussing how it can hold people in place, making them resistant to change.
David sheds light on the critical role that early adopters and advocates play in creating momentum for change within an organization. He introduces the bell curve model when explaining moving interested individuals to become early adopters who will then influence their peers.
Furthermore, David emphasizes that successful transformation goes beyond technology alone. People and process must be considered as integral factors in achieving meaningful and lasting change. He suggests a slower, more deliberate approach to transformation, where building momentum and celebrating small wins along the way are essential.
But it doesn't stop there, we also delve into the fascinating world of AI and its potential impact on business transformation. From powerful AI tools that could potentially solve complex problems to the necessary adaptation and pivot of service-integrating companies, we explore how the landscape of business will be transformed in the coming years.
