TD SYNNEX Senior Vice President of Marketing Jessica McDowell works for a company that says "we're not in the B2B business.  We're in the human-to-human business."     While others are obsessing over AI automation and digital transformation, the most impactful leaders double down on something much more analog:  genuine human connection.   Her keys to unlocking the full potential of her teams?  Giving people the room to fail fast, never getting too comfortable in the same role (including taking on the scariest moves) and aligning teams to your vision.

Human Centered Ladership - Jessica McDowell

In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, Zorina Dimitrova sits down with legendary innovation expert Doug Hall—founder of Eureka! Ranch and Brain Brew Distillery—to talk about what’s really broken inside businesses today. Spoiler alert: it’s not the people.

Doug shares the thinking behind his new book Proactive Problem Solving, and dives into why so much time is wasted on “stupid stuff” that could be fixed with better systems, clearer communication, and a little bit of psychology. From engaging frontline employees to scaling a bourbon brand during COVID, Doug’s stories are a masterclass in practical innovation, culture transformation, and process design that actually works.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in problems that shouldn’t exist in the first place, this one’s for you. You can learn more at www.doughall.com

„Aki kalapácsot fog a kezébe, hirtelen mindent szögnek lát” – mondja Ignácz Péter, a KPMG Data Science managere, aki a Spirit FM „MI és más” című műsorában árulta el, miért nem mindig mesterséges intelligencia a legjobb válasz egy üzleti problémára.

A beszélgetésből kiderül, hogyan építhető be a generatív AI a vállalati folyamatokba értékteremtő módon, mikor érdemes inkább RPA-t választani, és miért kulcskérdés az adatminőség.

Craft President/Founder Angelo Ponzi shows how the sales and marketing relationship is a critical driver of long term success for any business.  Stop treating them like warring tribes.  They are relay runners, not rivals.  Internal data is your gold, but most companies are sitting on powerful insights they never know they have.  Fixing your communication breakdowns is a great place to start.  If your accounting team can't explain your value proposition, you've failed.  "Be curious. Ask questions.  Don't make assumptions."  How many departments in your company could accurately describe what you actually do and why it matters?  If the answer is "just a few," you're not building a business - you're managing expensive chaos.
