Force Multiplier Jonathan Ballon

The second episode of Force Multiplier features guest Pierre Racz, CEO of Genetec, a private family-owned company that develops networked physical security, data analytics, and operational efficiency solutions. The conversation is focused on technology’s role in the trade-off between public safety and privacy, and how the Overton Window (or window of discourse) – which refers to those policies that the public, and therefore policymakers, will support at any given time – has blown wide open on a number of fronts (most recently the COVID-19 pandemic) in the tech industry. As the novel coronavirus continues to sweep the planet, many are looking to tech to provide community safety measures (e.g., contact tracing, outbreak monitoring and virtual doctor’s visits), while the line between surveillance and privacy remains hotly contested.

The premier episode of Force Multiplier features guest Geoffrey Moore, speaker, advisor and author of Crossing the Chasm and Zone to Win. The conversation is focused on the accelerated adoption of technology in today’s COVID-19 environment. As many companies and industries shift to remote workforces and digital operations, JB and Moore discuss how they can successfully accelerate tech adoption and ensure digital transformation is achieved rapidly and responsibly.
