Independence Blue Cross modernizes the workplace with Microsoft 365 Early in my career I recall the days where I would drive to work and sit at my desk using my large CVT monitor and tower PC working on a new marketing plan for a seasonal campaign. I would then email the plan or fax to multiple people in different locations for a follow-up conference call a few days later. That type of workstyle is a distant memory and speed agility with an increasing need for real-time collaboration is critical to business agility and success. Today organizations across the globe are increasingly becoming more mobile, with more employees working from home or a remote location to accommodate a flexible workstyle.

엔터프라이즈 클라우드 혁신 센터(CCoE)의 인력 구성 “미래는 지식이 아닌 태도, 적성 그리고 감사에 의해 좌우된다.” – Debasish Mridha M.D.   여러분이 습득한 것들을 기반으로 작게 시작하고 반복하여 성장하는 것은 성공적인 엔터프라이즈 클라우드 여정에서 계속 되풀이되는 주제에 속합니다. 저는 제 게시물에서 이 주제를 자주 거론하고 있으며, 이와 동일한 반복적 사고를 여러분이 속한 조직의 클라우드 혁신 센터(CCoE)를 이끌어 갈 하나의 팀을 구성할 때 적용할 것을 권합니다. 여러분은 클라우드가 조직에 어떤 영향을 미칠 수 있는지에 대해 기꺼이 배우고 싶어 하며 흥미를 느끼는 소수의 미래 지향적인 사람들을 모집하는 일부터 시작하게 될 것입니다. 3~5명의 팀원만 있어도 눈에 띄는 차이가 즉시 생길 수 있습니다. 그럼 이제 매월 CCoE가 조직에 미치는 영향을 평가하고, 필요한 조정을 하고, 그러한 조정이 영향을 미치는 프로젝트의 수효와 규모가 증가할수록 팀을 확장해 보십시오. 해당 업무의 적임자를 찾았다는 것은 어떻게 알 수 있을까요? 임원들은 찾아야 할 인재의 유형과 그러한 인재들을 채용할 수 있는 장소/방법을 제게 물을 때가 [ more… ]
