Hi, and welcome back to Make Sense!

Today, I’m excited to share a special episode where I joined Mino Vlachos on the 3Peak Master Leadership Experience podcast. 3Peak Coaching & Solutions is a leadership consultancy dedicated to Elevating Executive Mastery.

In this episode, we talk about leadership during times of technological change and how to guide teams and organizations through digital transformation, answering questions like:

  • Why do so many expensive corporate IT projects fail, and what can be done to fix them?
  • How does involving employees in the software development process change the outcome of a project?
  • What non-IT leaders can do to be better business partners for their IT organizations?

For those of you new to Make Sense, the topic of enterprise software continues to be a recurring theme as I believe its ineffectiveness both drives macro system-level problems, and micro, daily frustrations many employees have with their jobs.

This conversation is packed with actionable insights for anyone navigating technological shifts, whether you’re driving change in your organization or simply looking for new ways to lead in uncertain times.
