Episode Description
The Coronavirus COVID19 pandemic is the latest in a long list of disruptors to established business models. Whether it is competitors, technology, natural disasters, foreign or domestic threats, a disruption, or the next occurrence of an unknown, businesses are recognizing that change is the new normal. This emerging reality does not begin with a new technology. Technology may enable what we refer to as a series of business and mission aligned initiatives to move the organization to its next state – a deliberate movement away from the language of a “desired state”. Enterprise will be looking at what businesses they are in now, and what will be the state of that business and the “next”. What will keep us in the game, and how can we differentiate ourselves to more effectively compete? What are the business aligned capabilities we have today, and what are the business capabilities we need in this next iteration and beyond? The new model is stabilize, then prepare to move – the new normal!
The 2020’s Enterprise with Sam Holcman

The 2020’s Enterprise is about sorting through the internet-driven advice madness that exists in business today. The great thing about the internet is that anyone can write anything about anything. The problem with the internet is that anyone can write anything about anything! Published practices are quite different than “best practices.” This program will provide practice-based insights in business transformation, organizational transformation and technology transformation, based on real world practices. Business executives, managers, practitioners, and staff are bombarded daily with utopian solutions that more often than not deliver significantly less than promised. This show is “no jargon,” just human communication. Be treated like a “customer” not a “user.” Our philosophy is to provide you with insights that can provide true value to organizations and individuals that face today’s and tomorrow’s competitive pressures, and provide a usable takeaway from each program.
