“You have to capture people’s hearts to make change effective.” – Phil Gold 

 

In this episode of OneTAKE Live, join host Ian Barkin as he discusses how communication and technology can work together to effect true digital transformation with Phil Gold, LinkedIn Learning author and the owner and principal of KLARECOM.  

 

How do you manage true digital transformation? There are plenty of cool tools and flashy apps out there, but how can enterprise leaders be sure they’re adding real value — not just collecting apps? 

 

That’s where Phil Gold comes in. He’s a LinkedIn author, innovator and digital transformation guru. To him, it’s all about collaboration and keeping people first. 

 

“The rules of being a good manager never changed.” Phil explains. “The number one thing you have to do is communicate. … Change management is ‘you are changing a process.’ Transformation management is ‘you are changing the way that the people who are working with the process feel about it.’ … It’s about the people, not the thing.” 

 

Through his courses on LinkedIn, Phil works to educate leaders and counsel companies on their journey toward true digital transformation. Formerly in Nike senior management, he’s been enabling digital learning for decades prior to teaching on LinkedIn — and we’re lucky to have his insights.
