Technology consultants? Digital transformation is driven by a broader view of Information Technology than its traditional goals of increasing efficiency and automation to help businesses save money and boost productivity. Today, technology has advanced in ways that allow businesses to do much more than what was possible in the past. Even in its traditional scope, IT has become a major component of most businesses’ success. Most corporate executives (CXOs) are comfortable with it in this shape and size, but when there’s talk of re-envisioning IT, even with the promise of greater impact, CXOs can become understandably nervous.
Culture flag-bearers, does your sales team suffer from internal poaching? It is possible that your salespeople’s reluctance to enter all their customer insights, predictions, and followup ideas has nothing to do with how (in)efficient those features have been designed, or whether they’re available on a mobile device, etc. and everything to do with their fear that their colleagues will POACH those insights and steal sales from them in the future.

I find several of the top systems really elegant in their combination of simplicity and power. It’s hard to imagine these systems being much simpler while still achieving their intended goal. Neither is the tech IQ of sales staff the major problem. Never before have salespeople had the level of technical skill that today’s sales professionals possess.
