Executing Revolutionary Transformation with Joel “Thor” Neeb

Don’t Break the Bank: Run IT, Change IT

3 Takeaways:

• The hardest (and most important thing) your company can do is invest in cultural and operational transformation.
• Don’t sell your technology, sell business outcomes empowered by the right technology.
• The most successful companies we read about in five years will be the ones that best communicate a common vision, have the strategy to pursue that vision, and whose teams are aligned behind the scenes.

Key Quotes:

• “Evolutionary change is iterative. It's making things a little bit better within the current paradigm. This is revolutionary change. We need to have constructive disruption.” - Joel
• “I don't believe whatsoever in innate talent, I believe a hundred percent in our ability to invest in ourselves, invest in our teams, and develop what we need to be successful.” - Joel
• “It's less about building better technology and this endless rat race against finding a new feature or something that's going to improve the technology or the product. And it's more about how does everything integrate and come together? How do I work cross-functionally across my organization, across the ecosystem to deliver outcomes?” - Joel
