Drew DePriest, MCR.w, WELL AP is Director of Real Estate Operations Technology at McKesson where he is passionate about innovating in the built environment using the latest CRE, facility management, and autonomous building strategies. Mike Petrusky asks Drew about the rapid pace of change in technology and the workplace and how he keeps up by engaging with industry connections while constantly being “a curious nerd”. Drew believes that data governance has become our paramount concern, so he leads his teams with a focus on ensuring data quality and accuracy. When considering new technologies, Drew shares his philosophy of identifying business outcomes rather than just jumping on the latest trends. Artificial intelligence has great potential to impact the built environment, so it's important to ensure the underlying data it learns from is accurate and complete. Mike and Drew agree that we must lead using change management strategies that put humans first, acknowledge our struggles and failures, and encouraging continuous learning and improvement as we seek to be a workplace innovator in our organizations.
