Engagement...is it Hawaiian shirts and beer cart afternoons, or is it something...else? In this episode, Vince and Mike discuss their philosophies on being engaged at work, and pivot to discuss celebrations and recognition, which, believe it or not, has an impact on engagement. Enjoy!

We start from a place of fire, and talk about some of the probably endless ways business and transformations can fail. 

The stunning conclusion of our two episode view of the roles and characters you need in business, and especially in transformation programs.

We've spent a bit of time so far taking about the importance of team in times of business transformation. And yet, we have yet to define what "team" means, and more specifically, what are the roles, or personalities, you need to be successful. In this, the first of a two part episode, we'll explore Vince's list, featuring an interesting cast of characters.

We've all had to figure out how to work in a distributed way pretty quickly, so in this episode, we'll chat with a very special guest, Skaidra Puodziunas, who worked this way, even pre-pandemic, to learn a few hacks on being "distributed by default".

It would be totally wrong to say that things haven't changed as a result of our need for physical distancing and working from home. But it would be just as wrong to say that some work becomes impossible (except if you are a hairdresser/barber, or something with high human touch) when navigating your transformation efforts. As the show must go on, we discuss some tactics for keeping productive, like facilitating workshops and meetings, and continuing to build relationships in the workplace.

Here's a question...does governance and bureaucracy add, or detract from a transformation program? As with most things, it depends. Hear what Vince and Mike think on this episode of the Business (Not) As Usual podcast.

When faced with the prospect of transformation in the face of a pandemic, what choices do you really have? Well, maybe more than you think. You can act, or die.

Few organizations can shut down day to day operations to navigate their transformation. So how do you balance the two, competing priorities?

Hold on to your hats for this XL episode of the Business (Not) As Usual podcast! We learn a TON from Lori Silverman, who drops value from the second we hit record. We talked story, busting bureaucracy, and organizational change and transformation.
