Disrupting corporate management through AI, Blockchain and humanizing digital communication with trio of innovators
The funny thing about working with technology is that many times it’s people who limit growth
TAMPA BAY, Fla. (PRWEB)
11 April 2023
Before the pandemic, 92 percent of business leaders surveyed by McKinsey believed that their business model would not remain viable at the speed of digitization at the time. (1) Experts noted that the road to recovery is paved with data-driven decisions. This can be good news or terrifying news for management in all businesses; small for business.
Enter Teresa Spangler, Plazabridge Group CEO and growth strategist, whose AI-powered decision-making tools leverage data and emerging technologies to create business value. She explained to Karla Jo Helms, host of the Disruption/Interruption podcast, how AI helps the C-suite make better and faster decisions based on accumulating data versus assessing risk. “During the pandemic, we turned, changed and reborn in many ways. However, we are missing the element of future planning for competitive agility by not focusing our efforts on future growth.”
Enter Jai Arun, a technology innovator with over 23 years of experience leading startups to enterprises, who has seen the value of blockchain to protect systems and information through its distributed ledger technology. He explained to host Karla Jo Helms why the monetization of information has created more distrust and the impact of sovereign identity and how we view information. “Blockchain enables companies to bring trust and security to their systems. Distributed Ledger technology can bring trust and transparency into businesses to solve multiple problems.”
Enter Hoyin Cheung of Remo, whose company reveals the nuances of creating and engaging workplaces for all team members and establishing real relationships in virtual and hybrid environments. He explained to host Karla Jo Helms how their technology humanizes digital communication and helps managers tap into the engagement levels of their workers. “The funny thing about working with technology is that a lot of times it’s people who limit growth.”
