Generative culture is the holy grail of any technology-driven company and the noble quest of any CIO – or any leader of people and change. Everyone wants it, but few are able to find it. Generative culture supports smart people — the right smart people — as they solve the right problems. It’s a magnet for talent that helps you recruit and retain those smart people too. It’s the essence of teams that are high-performing and innovative. Done right, it can take you into Netflix territory, defining and dominating an entire sector of the economy.

Jeremy Duvall, founder of 7Factor Software, is committed to building a smart, flexible, human-centric team of experienced software architects, engineers, and developers who obsess about quality and will give clients honest, expert advice.

Transformation is defined as a dramatic and complete change. It’s become part of our corporate speak and it’s meant to signify that giant leaps and monumental progress are necessary to keep pace and gain advantage. And yet, most changes happen through the accumulation of small steps that add up along the way. What if instead of taking on dramatic transformations, we approached technology adoption through incremental change? Dan Moore, co-founder of Vaporware, does just that by helping business founders pivot their business through process automation, technical modernization, and software innovation...one step at a time.

Showing up authentically has a whole new meaning in today’s digital world. Before the internet, our physical presence and reputation could reach a fairly limited group – people we knew and perhaps a few we didn’t. Now, our online presence extends so far beyond that to the possibilities of a truly global audience. But how often are we really stopping to think about and take actions to create a deliberate and authentic presence so that our message can be truly understood? Brandi Bernoskie, digital strategist, web developer, and technology expert helps entrepreneurs and business owners elevate their online presence, enhance their digital experience, and embrace their authentic online selves which she calls their 5th Dimension. She is the founder of Alchemy And Aim. Have a great topic to explore? Reach out to Suzanne@humansoptimized.com.
