Hello and welcome to Hacking Kaizen, I’m Graham Newman. Today I’m joined by Chris Regel, partner and vice president of business development at Seven Peaks Group here in Bangkok.
We dive into the complex yet fascinating dynamics of digital transformation and how businesses can navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology and workforce expectations.
While digital skills are crucial, the ability to build and maintain personal relationships remains vital. We ask Chris how to balance the high IQ of digital natives with the strong EQ—the emotional intelligence—of senior executives and project stakeholders.
We also discuss the role of data in driving transformation. With the belief that combining numerical insights with employee feedback provides a comprehensive view of where changes are needed. This dual approach can reveal hidden pain points and opportunities for improvement that might not be apparent through data alone, and the financial implications of not adopting digital transformation are often more significant than the costs associated with implementing new solutions, noting that SMEs often have an easier time with digital transformation compared to larger enterprises burdened with legacy systems. However, with the influx of a younger, tech-savvy workforce, even large organisations can find new ways to innovate and stay competitive.
Join us for this insightful episode as we explore the intersection of technology, workforce dynamics, and business strategy.
