Latest / The DEX Show: A Show for IT Change Makers / Culture Matters: doing DEX properly (w/ Roy Atkinson)
Transcript
- 0:01Welcome it, change Makers to the Deck Show with Tim Flower and Tom McGraw.
- 0:07Let's get into it. Hey, Tim, how are you today?
- 0:10I'm doing good, Tim? How about you? I'm not too bad.
- 0:13You know that the sun is back out in London and look winge about the
- 0:19weather. It's the most predictable English thing ever perhaps, But you went like
- 0:24three four weeks with no sunshine at all, just a just a gray sky,
- 0:29a relentless gray sky. The entire time it was it was bringing everyone
- 0:32down. But the sun is, the sun is back out and I'm very
- 0:35grateful, grateful to see it. Anyway, Tim, Let's get to our
- 0:39fantastic guest today, suggested and introduced to us from a wonderful John Layton.
- 0:45Shout out John, always always making wonderful connections for this show, always coming
- 0:49up with great, great episode ideas. It's Roy Atkinson. Roy is a
- 0:55writer, industry analyst, speaker and currently CEO. Actually Butterfield, is that
- 1:00right? Is that right? Roy? Welcome to the show anyway, mate,
- 1:03It's great to see you. It used to be here and yep,
- 1:04you got it right. Excellent, excellent. So one thing that John put
- 1:10under our nose was this amazing article you wrote, and you first published it
- 1:14like a number of years ago, right, it was like twenty seventeen,
- 1:17I think when it first came out, and it was an enterprise service management
- 1:21the top five things you're not doing. You have updated it since that said,
- 1:26it does look like an incredibly prescient article, and we're going to get
- 1:30to why, and we're going to get to its relevance to the experienced management
- 1:34space very shortly. But I wonder if you could tell us first a bit
- 1:37about the background of the piece, and it's it's history, if you will,
- 1:41it's reception, it's prescients, all of these themes. At the time
- 1:47that I wrote that, I was the analyst for HDI, and HDI ran
- 1:55a series of forums back then which were basic groups of people based on industry
- 2:04verticals. So we had a higher education form, we had a retail form,
- 2:07and then we had some forums that were based on role like Director's form,
- 2:14leaders Forum, and coming bubbled through those discussions where we'd meet for a
- 2:21couple of days with these various industry verticals. Well, we kept hearing,
- 2:24we were hearing a lot about people being interested in enterprise service management because it
- 2:29was becoming more of a thing in the world. People were talking about it,
- 2:35but they weren't sure which road to go down or From my perspective and
- 2:40listening to them, and I used to do the Desktop Support forum and participate
- 2:45in some of the other forums as well's we were going about it in such
- 2:51a way that they were saying, Okay, well we do itsm we do
- 2:53it service management. Therefore we know how to do this. Therefore, let
- 2:58us tell you how to do it, and charging in with you know,
- 3:01here's the tool, here's what you do, here's all I toill read the
- 3:06book something like that, and it wasn't wasn't really being very successful, and
- 3:13so I said, you know, I should have write some articles about how
- 3:15to do this organizationally. What are the steps you need to take, what
- 3:19directions do you need to go in? And my boss at the time,
- 3:23Megan Silva, suggested, you know, why don't you flip it and say
- 3:27here's what you're not doing that you should be. And so I said,
- 3:30okay, it sounds like a good idea, hence the birth of the series
- 3:32of articles. And so I laid it out in the article that you mentioned
- 3:38top five things you're not doing, and just laid it out as you know,
- 3:42here's what we're going to talk about, and then wrote an article on
- 3:45each one of those and it really I think hit home with a lot of
- 3:51people that we never thought about the first thing being looking at the culture.
- 3:57We'd ever thought about that from the beginning. You know, change management,
- 4:00organizational change management tends to get bolted on at the end of a project or
- 4:04a program, and that's not the right way to go about it. That
- 4:09was one of the key points. So it was an interesting perspective and I
- 4:13think that it still works. It's absolutely evergreen stuff. It applies to way
- 4:18more than enterprise service management, and we're going to talk about that today.
- 4:23So yeah, thinking specifically though about the piece itself, and it's a prognosis
- 4:29of what needed to be done or what wasn't being done. How well do
- 4:33you think those principles were adapted in the sort of six or so years since
- 4:40its publication, And where would you before we get into sort of analogies around
- 4:45enterprise service management, what's your analysis of the state of its adoption today?
- 4:54Enterprise service management is still being spread around, it's not it hasn't completely permeated
- 5:02industry. It's a lot more a lot more prevalent than it was then,
- 5:08and we did some research on that. Back then. We actually did two
- 5:12bits of research a few years apart, I think about four years apart that
- 5:16showed that it was spreading and that organizations were looking into it and adopting it,
- 5:24and we discovered several of the reasons why it was a really good idea.
- 5:28Productivity went up. An experienced measurement such as it was, which was
- 5:33primitive compared to what we have now, seemed to be much better. Employees
- 5:38liked it for a bunch of different reasons. But I think that now it
- 5:45has become part of or been rolled into, and this is probably a good
- 5:49thing. What's called digital transformation, is it? I always saw it as
- 5:57kind of a first step in that direction, and I think that that has
- 6:00held true. I think that looking at how to manage aspects of work life
- 6:09across the organization, how data gets handled, how the tools can be used
- 6:14by various parts of the organization to make things similar, so that people can
- 6:19go from accounting to sales and still have a similar experience working with some of
- 6:25the same tools. That kind of approach has been successful and is a step
- 6:30toward digital transformation, and Digital transformation isn't one of those things that's extremely hard
- 6:35to define and everybody's got a different definition of it. But I think that
- 6:42enterprise service management was a step in that direction, and I think it still
- 6:46is a portion of that. You have to be able to do some of
- 6:50the same things that I talked about in that series of articles. Fantastic We're
- 6:55going to have a look those different items on that list momentarily and we're going
- 7:00to look at their relevance. They're enduring relevance to experience management specifically. But
- 7:06I wonder if you could maybe set the seam there Roy by saying where you
- 7:11think experience management or decks or however you frame it fits into that wider digital
- 7:15transformation picture today, how significant a piece that is the wider play, and
- 7:21what your direct experience or thoughts are on this newer, kind of newer vertical
- 7:30if you will, within within it, I think, ah, within it,
- 7:35Yeah, Well, we'll talk about how I'm going to come back to
- 7:39that. But I think that UM experience management is can be revolutionary, and
- 7:48it was on a meeting with the other fellows of the Institute for Digital Transformation.
- 7:54I'm one of the films there and one of the things that came up
- 8:00was about organizational change, and I said that one of my AHA moments in
- 8:07recent years has been that change becomes more successful when it gets pulled through the
- 8:15organization rather than driven into the organization. And I gave as illustrations for that,
- 8:22things like bringing their own device, shadow I consumerization of it. These
- 8:31are changes that employees made and pulled them across the organization. Sometimes severy senior
- 8:41employees did it. I remember working in an organization where the CEO wanted to
- 8:45get the organizational email and his brand new iPhone and they had just come out
- 8:50with the iPhone at the time, and I said, we can't do that.
- 8:54They weren't in any way, shape or form prepared for that, and
- 8:58he said, okay, So he forwarded all his email to his Gmail account,
- 9:05got Gmail on his phone because that's what he wanted to do. And
- 9:11that was the CEO. And of course people here having a heart attack that
- 9:15goes all his email is going to but he's gonna tell him, Who's gonna
- 9:20tell him? Exactly right. So I think that when we pulled changes through
- 9:26the organization like that, we're gonna we have a much better chance of success
- 9:31because everybody that's ever done any kind of change manage, organizational change management knows
- 9:37that you run into resistance to change. People don't like to be told that
- 9:41they're going to have to do something a different way. They get into a
- 9:46groove and they don't want to stay there. They know how their job is
- 9:48done. And it was actually a comment at an HDI local chapter meeting years
- 9:52ago. We were talking about projects. What projects were people working on,
- 9:58and one of the people said, you know, they just to this major
- 10:01upgrade and one of the people call the service desk. When the employees called
- 10:05the service desk and said, yesterday I knew how to do my job.
- 10:09Today I don't, And I thought that is one of the clearest statements of
- 10:16what happens to people when there's major change. However, if you give them
- 10:20a stake in making that change, if you ask them if you could change
- 10:24three things in your job, what would they be, What worked for you,
- 10:28what doesn't work for you? And that's what it seems to me.
- 10:31Anyway. Experienced management is all about you. You're taking information from those folks
- 10:37in the way they interact with the tools they have and saying, Okay,
- 10:41we can make this better. How do we do that? Here's how we
- 10:43do it. Amazing And Tim, you're going to be providing the sort of
- 10:48experience management perspective specifically on Roy's list, but I mean the festival of any
- 10:54analogies Roy hasn't kind of touched upon their you think are worth drawing attention too
- 11:00before we get into the nitty gritty. No, I think I think they're
- 11:05all. You know, as I review the article and the and the list
- 11:09of elements, they're They're almost universal. You could almost take some of these
- 11:15and apply them to your personal life as well as your business life. Right,
- 11:18it's their UM, their their words to live by. And I think,
- 11:22you know, even if we just take a look at that first run
- 11:24that need for cultural change. Some of the biggest struggles that I've seen from
- 11:31our customers as they try to shift from traditional and end user compute UM service
- 11:39delivery service management into an experienced culture is UM is getting everybody to shift along
- 11:45with you UM. We had we had one hotel chain that in their UH
- 11:52in their switch from reactive to proactive, they went out to their their PC
- 11:58environment they found I don't remember what the actual it problem was, we'll call
- 12:03it blue screens. They found all the thousands and thousands of blue screens that
- 12:05were happening. They opened up a ticket and they sent it to the help
- 12:09desk and said, here's you know, two thousands, three hundred and twelve
- 12:13blue screens that all need to be fixed. The help desk said, what
- 12:18is this? Where did this data come from? And close the ticket and
- 12:20they said, we only take issues from customers from employees, So they were
- 12:26not on board unless the employe. If it's not big enough for the employee
- 12:28to call, we're not fixing it. So that cultural change for them was
- 12:35a blockage to getting anything done, and continue to perpetuate the need for employees
- 12:41to call the help desk. It's that cultural change. Don't underestimate I say
- 12:45it a lot. The technology is the easy part is the people that are
- 12:48hard. And you've really got to get the whole organization growing in the same
- 12:54direction for their own benefit, not to deliver a benefit for you that really
- 13:00is not in their charter. H that's a great that's a great comment for
- 13:05entry one of Roy's list. So let's let's go into entry two and let's
- 13:09get you to frame this one a little bit. Roy making sure it's not
- 13:13about you. I love this one. It's my favorite. I think I'm
- 13:16going so flesh that one out a bit more for US Festival if you would,
- 13:20Well, it's not about me, this one could be. It could,
- 13:30yes, for sure. Uh. The point I was really trying to
- 13:35make with that one is that the language that was being used in a lot
- 13:39of places at the time about enterprise service management in this case was well,
- 13:46it's it service management, but we're we're moving it out to other parts of
- 13:50the organization, And well, no, not really. Uh, it's service
- 13:58management which was born in it first of all, it was born elsewhere in
- 14:03the commercial world. And second of all, if if I'm it and I'm
- 14:09coming in and I'm saying, well, I know the best way to do
- 14:11things, I'm going to show you, You're going to get that employee resistance
- 14:16right off the bat. People don't like to be told that they're they're totally
- 14:22wrong, or they're doing things wrong, as I've learned many times trying to
- 14:26correct people's grammar. But that that's another story. But you can't make it
- 14:31about what you're going to do for them. You know, you can't be
- 14:35condescending about it. You can't be patronizing about it. You have to say
- 14:39it's about you. You have to explain what it is that you're doing,
- 14:45what you want, how you go about things, and welcome back to this
- 14:48over number again because it's a thing for me, and take it from there,
- 14:52so it's not about you, it's about them. Once you start making
- 14:56it about them, the resistance are to go down and you start to be
- 15:01able to accomplish things better. I think there's even an aspect here that it
- 15:07overlaps with number one. But even making sure it's about them and not you
- 15:13is important step number one. But I would add to that, and I'm
- 15:18trying to figure out how to phrase it it and maybe this goes to a
- 15:22lot of different professions, but it people don't like to be told what to
- 15:26do right. It needs to be my idea. So even making sure it's
- 15:30not about me, this is about you, you're there's still an aspect of
- 15:33trying to make it their idea. You know, this will allow them to
- 15:39explore it and determine how they can take some level of ownership to your point
- 15:43where I pull it in instead of direct it and push it on them.
- 15:48Finding that communication channel, that little nuance that allows them to internalize it and
- 15:54say, hey, you know what, this is a really cool idea.
- 15:56Let me see how I can make it better. So me see how we
- 15:58can operationalize it and not necessarily feel obligated to do something even if it's in
- 16:04my best interests. People know that quitting smoking is in their best interest,
- 16:08but until they internalize it and really figure out how to do it for themselves,
- 16:12you can tell them all you want and they're not going to do it.
- 16:15So I think it's it's kind of making sure it's not about you as
- 16:18twofold. Definitely focus on them and the benefit to them, but give them
- 16:22the opportunity to explore, internalize, and take it on their own. And
- 16:27I always see like the next one getting your house in order. It's almost
- 16:30like the inversion of a reverse side of the coin. Their ry is that
- 16:34right to not making it about you, but actually making sure you are first
- 16:38of all consistent with your own principles, right. I think that that's key,
- 16:47and I know that there can be a lot of skepticism, and this
- 16:51is one of the things experienced management has shown us for years. You know,
- 16:55CIOs and their senior leaders on I T were really confused about the fact
- 16:59that they were looking at their their c set that they were getting off the
- 17:03service desk and it was eighty seven percent or ninety percent. And then you
- 17:07sit down in meetings with executives and other parts of the organization, those of
- 17:11gators going you people are terrible over there. What's wrong with you people?
- 17:15And there was a total disconnect there. But once you start looking at experienced
- 17:21aspects of it, then people can say things like, you know, you
- 17:26don't know what you're doing in it. You don't know what you're doing.
- 17:30And so to walk into other parts of the organization and have conversations about how
- 17:34these principles of service management are going to benefit them, they'll say, yeah,
- 17:38well they ain't benefiting us now, folks, unless you're doing it well.
- 17:45So making sure your own houses in order and make sure that you can
- 17:48demonstrate to them how service management principles in this case in ESM have worked for
- 17:56you. You're going to have again, you're going to have resistance. You're
- 18:00going to have people being very skeptical about the benefits and so forth and so
- 18:04on. But if you have your house in order and you can say,
- 18:07oh, look what happened when we did this. We improved our ability to
- 18:12deliver services by x percent over the last year by doing this, this and
- 18:18this. Now they'll say, oh, that's cool, show us how to
- 18:22do that. It's a different, different thing. And in my days and
- 18:26enterprise it. One of the early things that we struggled with was as we
- 18:30engaged with other IT departments. We had multiple data sources as CCM Active Directory,
- 18:40anti virus, and we would look to leverage that data and with other
- 18:47teams, and their first piece of feedback to us was all this data overlaps
- 18:51with each other and it's all different. You have no source of truth.
- 18:53The data you're giving me. I can't rely on. It's wrong, it's
- 18:57conflicting, it's inaccurate, so therefore none of it is valid. And we
- 19:03couldn't engage and spread awareness on what we were doing until we got our own
- 19:07house and order, bring in a single source of truth, validate where the
- 19:11data is wrong, fix the data, and then start engaging with other teams.
- 19:17And then to just kind of stay on the external analogy that quitting smoking,
- 19:22you can tell somebody all the benefits it's going to, you know,
- 19:26reduce your cancer resk, it's going to increase your health, your longivity.
- 19:30And that's even if they internalize it and they agree with it, when they
- 19:33look back at you and say, well, hang on a minute, you
- 19:36still smoke, right. The message gets deluded when you don't have your own
- 19:40house and order. So the same thing goes with experience management. You've got
- 19:44to have that clear definition of what you're doing, accurate data, get your
- 19:49own house and order, and then you can start to bring in other teams
- 19:53to improve experience in a broader way. With the next one, right,
- 20:00I want you to set the scene. It's it's learning other languages. Set
- 20:03the scene for this one because I'm really interested to hear how this one translates,
- 20:07because I kind of think about experience management as almost translating everyone else into
- 20:12one new language. But you know, I want to hit Tim on this
- 20:17first. But first Roy set the scene for us. What's what was irrelevance
- 20:19of this one? But I think you touched on something there that's that's kind
- 20:25of interesting actually, And he said that it translates things, so we immediately
- 20:33know that there are other languages. I think that one of the one of
- 20:37the things experienced management does is it puts things in different set of terms makes
- 20:41us look at things in a different way. One of the problems that IT
- 20:45has had historically. You know, people can talk about IT speak or geek
- 20:48speak. We have a tendency to view the world from the perspective of technical
- 20:57things, and and even the length of the most adopted language of IT,
- 21:06which came primarily from IT till that kind of made the language of it service
- 21:14management common. Even there we run into a problem as soon as we test
- 21:18start taking that outside of IT. And the example I usually use is an
- 21:25unplanned interruption of services. According to IT is called an incident. An incident
- 21:33means something entirely different. When you sit down with HR. Do you talk
- 21:37to you HR people about an incident, You're talking about something much more than
- 21:42your email didn't open properly this morning. Right, You've got a problem on
- 21:47your hands. And so to understand what they mean by something as opposed to
- 21:52what you mean by something can be very insightful. And length language is a
- 21:57thing for me. I speak several I've always tried to learn more about them,
- 22:03and I'm fascinated by the fact that the same word can mean something entirely
- 22:07different to you from what it does to me, and so I think it's
- 22:14really important to sit down with people and hash out how you can communicate clearly
- 22:21and effectively across the organization without running into these barriers. Well, that doesn't
- 22:26mean the same thing. The other thing that was such about a little bit
- 22:30earlier is finding those ways to say something in meaningful terms to somebody that lives
- 22:41in a different world from you. And I'm thinking back to a particular event
- 22:45that happened when I was trying to explain the importance of security precautions which were
- 22:52getting in the way of research that was being done at this research laboratory I
- 22:56was working at, andientists were very resistant to the fact that we were trying
- 23:02to put some of these cybersecurity controls in place and saying that's too hard.
- 23:06I mean, you're making it too hard for me. And I don't understand
- 23:10it. My research is publicly funded. It's going to be public when I'm
- 23:15done with it. It's going to be published, it's going to be available
- 23:18to everybody who cares if somebody hacks it. And I said, well,
- 23:23you might not care if somebody steals the information, but you're going to care
- 23:27a lot if somebody changes the information. If somebody comes in and turns all
- 23:33the ones into twos in your Excel spreadsheet that you've been running for the last
- 23:37ten years on your research, you're going to have a problem with that.
- 23:41And then the light bulb started to go on, Oh yeah, okay,
- 23:44well, so it's finding the way to communicate the concept in the right way
- 23:49to somebody so that they understand it. It's all about communication, share some
- 23:55internal conversations and even call them. A bit of a struggle in language and
- 24:00terminology. Multiple teams use the term use case, and when we started to
- 24:07put this, put different communications together and talk with each other. My definition
- 24:11of a use case is you know, oh well, I'll put out a
- 24:15couple of them. Is it a technical use case like a blue screen is
- 24:19a Is it a broader use case from the customer like reducing tickets is a
- 24:30different kind of use case that can be calculated for financial value. So what
- 24:36we determined was in our inability to come to a common definition of the term
- 24:41use case is we had to put a qualifier on it. It's either a
- 24:44value use case, a customer use case, or a technical use case.
- 24:47Now we've got a definition that we can stick with and we all know what
- 24:49we're talking about. Conversely, in my previous job at an assurance company,
- 24:56we had five different lines of business, five different sets of customers, and
- 25:02some of them would overlap, so the sales teams would want to try to
- 25:04cross sell, and in claims, the customer record was a customer was an
- 25:10account number in property insurance, it was a customer ID in life insurance,
- 25:17it was a customer record. So the same thing that they all needed to
- 25:22use was called something different everywhere, and they needed to then get to a
- 25:26common term and a common way to talk about it. So a language definitely
- 25:30matters, and it's all about not only the communication that we do, but
- 25:36the collaboration in getting to commonality. It's it's the same point that you make
- 25:41with enterprise service management. You've got to get everybody on the same page and
- 25:45then and then you can move forward. Great and number five, the last
- 25:52in the list, it stands out to me, Tim because it smells to
- 25:56me of what we've been talking about and recorded an episode on Just the Have
- 25:59a Week, which is the whole feme of fake decks. In other words,
- 26:03ensuring that your tool can't do in this instance ESM properly so you know,
- 26:10at the time Roy did, did you have a lot of tools which
- 26:14were overstating their efficiency or a lot of people kind of trying to jump the
- 26:18bandwagon different vendors and such like. Because it's something we've been discussing and finding
- 26:22in the experience space presently. What vendors saying yes to things that they can't
- 26:30do? Noh, yeah, yeah. I remember having a conversation with somebody
- 26:41who lives on your side of the pond, who shall remain nameless, but
- 26:45who was reviewing massive RFPs at the time. I have four to six hundred
- 26:49pages from an RFP for a particular set of work, and saying that,
- 26:57well, you know, we're just to check yes on every single box anyway,
- 27:03and you have to understand that going in. But yeah, I think
- 27:07that a lot of tools were overstating their capability or didn't understand enterprise service management
- 27:18well enough to put all these things in perspective, didn't give the users and
- 27:23customers a way to make sure that they could translate, do the translation and
- 27:29the tool provide common ground do some customizations so that it made sense to the
- 27:34engineering department when they were trying to do things with the tool as you know,
- 27:41as opposed to it. So not just taking that it tool rolling out
- 27:45across the organization. They're saying, here, use this. It wasn't always
- 27:49property configured, It didn't have the capabilities that they needed, and it wasn't
- 27:55able to be put into a format that made sense to those other parts of
- 27:59the organization. So yeah, you have to make sure that those things work.
- 28:04In our instance where I was at a workshop, my boss was also
- 28:11at this workshop, and for part of the session that we were in,
- 28:15they split us out. They didn't have enough rooms to put us all separately
- 28:18to do a breakout, say, put us in different corners of the room.
- 28:22And the group that I was part of was supposed to say, what
- 28:26do I need to know to make sure that this software product is going to
- 28:30work for me? And so we just wrote on the flip chart and I
- 28:34heard my boss's voice from across the room saying, oh, I'd always one
- 28:40roys is, and I started laughing because mine was does it work? It's
- 28:47always good to know, basically does it work? And that's the question that
- 28:51people who are trying to use your tool are always going to ask, does
- 28:55it work? Yeah, you've got to get the fundamentals. Right first,
- 29:00it's got to have it's got to work, it's got to work well,
- 29:03it's got to be intuitive. Those are kind of all of the baseline things
- 29:07in any RFP to check the box and then verify, right, trust,
- 29:15but verify. But the you know it, people are drawn and this holds
- 29:19true an employee experience along with I think probably every other technology. They're drawn
- 29:25to the cool capabilities, the cool functions. Hey, look what I can
- 29:29do with this workflow. Look what I can do with this checkbox in it
- 29:30that enables all this other capability the RFP. The key thing about the RFP
- 29:36is those technical requirements in the RFP are in direct support of the outcomes that
- 29:41that business needs. Capability is garbage if it doesn't allow you to achieve the
- 29:47outcome that you're looking for. And that's why technology and we focus on this
- 29:52and employee experience all the time. And a time of reference back to that
- 29:56other that other episode with fake decks. You know, you can detect all
- 30:02the blue screens you want in real time on the machine, but if your
- 30:04administrators don't know about it for half an hour, all those employees have already
- 30:07called the help desk and you've already missed the boat. And likewise, if
- 30:11you're not correlating those blue screens in real time against every other event on the
- 30:18machine and around the enterprise, if you can't do cause and effect correlation,
- 30:22you're It's great that you can detect, but you don't have a capable of
- 30:26specific capability that's going to allow you to address the problem. So your tools
- 30:30are only as good as the outcomes that they enable you to achieve. I
- 30:37put it. I put this in a multitude of ways in writing. I'd
- 30:41say, nobody walks out to their garage on a Saturday morning with the nine
- 30:48sixteenth cent ratchet and says, what can I fix today? All right?
- 30:52They're not looking for what they can fix with the tool. They're looking for
- 30:56how the tool will help them address the issues that they have to address.
- 31:00And so it's got to do the job. And I hasten to it right,
- 31:04And hopefully it's not the ten millimeter socket, because that one's always missing.
- 31:08It's it's always the ten millimeters socket, right. I can't I can't
- 31:14believe your your list has us to the test of time like this man.
- 31:17It's been it's been great. Great to go back over it um and great
- 31:22to talk to you. Where can where can listeners find you? Follow you?
- 31:27What's your latest work? Anything you want them to know? Sure?
- 31:32Well, one of the things that they can do is go to the Institute
- 31:36for Digital Transformation, and I mentioned that I was a fellow there. We
- 31:41recently published a book it's called Digital Transformation Demystified, and I contributed a chapter
- 31:48on customer experience to that that book, So check that out. Available on
- 31:55Amazon and wants of other places as well. You can find me. Edgar
