One of our biggest struggles to enacting real change in enterprise organizations is convincing companies to relinquish old tech and embrace new, better functioning tools. “We’re worried about security!” “What about bandwidth?” “Integration?” “IT support?”

The answer to all these questions is: we have solutions! And it’s not just important, but absolutely critical to move on to tech that works with the work. The right tech unlocks new, more efficient, faster ways of working.

We're trying to become a more data-driven organization for so many reasons: measuring our impact, debunking or proving our hunches, strategically planning our next steps.... the list goes on & on!

Hear about how we have - with the lots of help from Justine & Karina - began folding data into our day-to-day and in turn, our future.

Finding a cadence - the repeatable, disciplined schedule to your work - unlocks so much: focus, teaming, and safely trying something new.

This week we talk about how to get into that important rhythm with your team, the tips on how to figure out logistics, the structures you can implement, and how, through using cadence, your team is free & empowered to do their best work.
