Ever wondered how to build a strong platform ecosystem? Or why integrating landing zones across various technologies is key to driving transformation within your organization? Join us as we break down these complexities, along with our esteemed guests Mark Smith, Chris Huntingford, and Anna Demone. Together, we shed light on the core elements of a well-constructed cloud ecosystem. We underscore the importance of a unified data model and a supportive culture in implementing such an ecosystem.

The conversation transcends the technicalities of building platform ecosystems and takes a deep dive into the human element. The resistance to change, the importance of cultural adoption, and the role of agile leadership in driving a strategic mindset are themes we explore at length. We glean insights from our experiences with individuals skeptical of change, underlining the significance of effective leadership in encouraging transformation. 

As we navigate the technology landscape, we emphasize the urgency for continuous learning and modernization. Leaders bear the onus of sharing their knowledge and embracing new business practices to stay competitive. We explore the notion of the "trough of disillusionment" in technology upskilling and the importance of staying current in a rapidly evolving world. So, grab your headphones, get comfortable, and join us on this insightful journey of discovery. This episode promises not just to inform but to inspire and challenge. Tune in!
