Manage episode 345443412 series 2834594
“We can have all the technology in the world but dropping it into a building doesn't magically transform it. It ultimately is a tool. Your people can be empowered by this tool but it will never do everything for you.
You have to set objectives, lean in and embrace the technology. You have to train your people and build the organization in a structure that supports it."
