In this Digital CIO Summit moment, excerpted from the digital event that took place from April 4-6, Gorilla Glue Director of IT Infrastructure Cedric Wells and Acceleration Economy practitioner-analyst Wayne Sadin discuss a concert analogy that helped the C-suite understand the importance of technology and digital transformation.
Highlights
00:05 — On a warehouse tour, Cedric asked questions about bringing the space online and the response was, “What do you think this is, like Amazon, or something?” Cedric thought, “Well, you know, why not?”
00:44 — Cedric shared a concert analogy with the C-suite. There was a moment when technology became the star at concerts. People can listen to music on Spotify, but they go to concerts for the lights and the feeling that vibrates through their chests.
01: 47 — Cedric’s message to the C-suite was: “Hey, I know we’re manufacturing and all this kind of stuff. But technology can do so much more and help us be a differentiator.” It was well-received.
02:04 — That started an initiative for Gorilla Glue to modernize infrastructure, and improve employee experience and productivity.
