‘We have put together a kind of taxonomy of all the types of meetings that happen within AlphaSense. We've tried to step back and say, What's the meeting I have? Now, what's the best mode for doing this meeting?” 

John Reid-Dodick (JRD) is Chief People Officer of AlphaSense, which is a small giant in the market intelligence field. They use AI-based technology to help professionals make smarter business decisions by delivering insights from an extensive universe of public and private content—including company filings, event transcripts, news, trade journals, and equity research. With his varied background in Human Resources, JRD has become a respected expert on company culture. In this conversation, Scott and JRD dive into why we do the things we do and what value we really drive from the way we work, including:

• Why the way of the future is fluid working, which embraces the notion that work is something you do, not a place you go
• Why some meetings may function best virtually while others are better served with in-person interaction - and how this facilitates more inclusive, and therefore better, meetings
• How culture is shaped regardless of what you do, so as a leader, it’s imperative to avoid cultural confetti and instead intentionally create where you do great work and make a great impact

Whether you’re a long-time TIGNUM client or a new listener to this ThoughtCast, you may be familiar with the concept that if by creating more wagons you can never fall ‘off the wagon’. JRD was our inspiration for that concept. Listen in to find out how you can be a Sustainable High Performer in today’s fluid environment, perhaps by adding to your fleet of wagons.
