2023 will belong to the optimist who sees opportunity everywhere

2023 will belong to the optimist who sees opportunity everywhere

2023 will be the year of doing things smarter. Now is the time to reset your outlook and build stronger relationships with your team, organization and community.” I hope this article serves as a reminder that demolition day is over, and the house is gutted. Now what? What’s your vision? Can you see any opportunity? How will you, as a revenue leader, turn your empty house into a vibrant home for the future? 2023 will belong to the optimist, the engineers and the can-do spirit. Cynicism and doubt only leave bitter tastes and bleak futures, and if you stay there, you may be unable to recoup. The second half of 2022 was tumultuous and left too many highly talented individuals unemployed on both the content and revenue side of media. Therefore, I appeal to all news media leaders to do whatever possible to stop this cycle and not take the losses and learnings from last year in vain. Virtually all leaders know how to cut costs by eliminating positions, but opportunists and innovators understand how to adjust in the red to capitalize in the black. Simply cutting the future for short gains will always be a one-side turbulent affair […]

Digital Transformation Begins With People And Ends With Brand – How Ingram Micro’s Chief Digital Officer, Sanjib Sahoo, Is Reshaping The Art Of Transformation

Sanjib Sahoo, Chief Digital Officer of Ingram Micro Inc. Courtesy of White Fox PR Digital transformation’s impact goes well beyond technology and infrastructure, often altering the DNA of an organization, both its people and culture. When done correctly, it not only improves one’s business model but also positively impacts one’s brand — allowing the business to become both more client-centric and culture-rich. Too many business leaders fail to capture the full value from their digital strategy because they are not integrated with the brand and people strategy. Without this integration, leaders struggle to capture the value across the organization both internally with team members and externally with customers. This month I sat down with digital innovator Sanjib Sahoo, the Chief Digital Officer of $54 billion-dollar tech giant Ingram Micro Inc. to understand his approach to creating a more holistic approach to digital transformation. Soon Yu: What are businesses getting wrong with Digital Transformation? Sanjib Sahoo: In today’s world, companies need to distinguish themselves less and less by their products and more and more by their people and platforms. Digital transformation done right requires an organization to be both aggressively digital and amazingly human. So what do I mean by […]

3 CFO Trends to Watch in 2023

Strategy Investing in digital transformation, addressing new workforce models, and staying adaptable will be key to surviving a potentially volatile year. Photo: Getty Images As we begin 2023, we may hope to leave some disruptions behind us. Yet inflationary pressures, interest rates, and a potential economic downturn threaten as lingering and new forms of disruption. We can predict only one thing: that for the foreseeable future disruption is the new normal. Therefore, businesses are preparing to face these headwinds by strengthening systems and pursuing the flexibility created by digital transformation.

Digital transformation will remain a strategic focus for companies this year.
