As I age, I frequently visit the pearls of wisdom my parents would drop here and there in my youth. They were quote factories! In part this is a "southern thing". We love sayings - those that get to the point, and those that allow us to say a multitude of things with only a handful of words.
As for my mother. When I would stress or concern myself a "little to much" for her taste. She would say
"get over it, keep moving, or the world will leave you behind". - my mom
A tad harsh, but what I needed to hear so that as a child I could mature, and as an adult my inner voice could whisper this into my consciousness when I needed to hear it, when I needed to remember to move on. Technology certainly knows how to move on, and on, and on.
Aligning an Organization for its Digital Future is a recently released survey as conducted in collaboration by MIT Sloan Management Review & Deloitte Digital. Research Purpose: to observe the digital transformation habits of digitally maturing companies. Organizations simply can't turn a blind eye to the role of the digital age and technology in organizational growth ( business revenue, product development & talent development). Take a look . . .
