Despite the billions of dollars that’s poured into construction annually, the industry has stubbornly remained stuck in its ways. But that could be changing.

He talks to host Michael Leadbetter about his hopes for the construction industry and how emerging technologies can prove to be a gamechanger for the industry.

How does a 180-year-old Fortune 500 company remain relevant? Host Michael Leadbetter poses that question to Tony Saldanha, a 27-year veteran of Procter & Gamble, who heads Next Generation Shared Services for P&G’s Global Business Services. Michael and Tony talk innovation, Bezos, and advances in tech. 

Our guest for the premiere episode of The Pivot Factory Podcast literally wrote the book on how to become an exponential organization.
