June’s live Cloud Wars Expo event featured dozens of industry leaders allowing the Acceleration Economy team access to the inner workings of the greatest growth market the world has ever known. If you missed the Expo or just want to catch up on sessions you were not able to attend, then you’re in luck. We recorded more than 40 hours of education sessions from the event, which are available for free to Acceleration Economy subscribers.
We’re also previewing the content in this series of Moments, which feature highlights from each session. In this Cloud Wars Expo Moment, excerpted from the CXO2 Jam Session on the “Great Reshuffle,” analysts Kenny Mullican and Wayne Sadin are joined by LinkedIn Director of Product Marketing Sudha Ranganathan for a discussion on establishing trust among managers and employees, particularly in the era of work-from-anywhere (WFA), and how technology can be used to help empower employees.
