• Episode 11: The Anthropology of Digital Transformation

  In this episode, host Brian Solis interviews Stowe Boyd, a futurist and editor-in-chief at Work Futures, about how companies are missing the mark on digital transformation by thinking about it from an industrial approach instead of a humanities-based approach. In a wide-ranging discussion, Boyd shares his thoughts on the inherent bias in social media and how we have to do more than being aware to counteract it. He also shares how orgs can capitalize on the groundswell created by change agents, no matter where they sit in the organization, and move from an industrialization mindset into a future of work mindset.

• Episode 10: The Nexus of Digital and Science Fiction

  In this episode, host Brian Solis interviews Brenda Cooper, CIO for the city of Kirkland, Washington, about the many ways her science fiction writing parallels and even influences the nature of the digital transformation of her home city. Cooper points out that notoriously slow-moving and bureaucratic cities, must open themselves to a fast-arriving future filled with smart technologies, and balance it against the fear and personal data privacy issues that naturally go along with such change.

• Episode 9: Cities as the Digital Hubs of the Future

  In this episode, host Brian Solis interviews Dr. Jonathan Reichental, CIO for the City of Palo Alto, about how the evolution of digital technology at the heart of Silicon Valley offers each of us a sneak preview into the coming transformation in urban areas everywhere. With roughly 3 million people migrating to cities every week and more than half the world’s population now congregated in these urban centers, these regions will be the first to host an array of digital technologies – smart cars, sensors, and more - that will fundamentally change every aspect of human life.

• Episode 8: Consumer Habits & Workplace Technology

  In this episode, host Brian Solis interviews Ben Arnold, Executive Director and industry analyst for The NPD Group, about the consumer habit of adopting technology outside the workplace, then either expecting that same technology to be made available internally or, increasingly, simply bringing it into the workplace with them. Arnold urges business leaders to pay close attention to consumer trends in digital technology and how to use these behaviors to build a workforce that plays to these strengths. He also talks about the emerging generation that expects instant engagement, and how companies can prepare for this friction. Is your organization working toward a digital workplace?

• Episode 7: Why Businesses Must Reconsider Everything

  In this episode, host Brian Solis interviews David Rogers, faculty member at Columbia University, consultant, and author of ‘The Digital Transformation Playbook,’ about looking at digital transformation outside of a technology focus, and more of an organizational restructuring. Rogers explains how digital transformation is forcing modern enterprises to rethink virtually every aspect of their business, including how they incubate and integrate new ideas. And just as importantly, clearing the logjam of politics that might have been holding them back. Get ready for a no-holds barred conversation! Is your organization working toward a digital workplace?
