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, analyst Wayne Sadin and LinkedIn Director of Product Marketing Sudha Ranganathan dive into challenges facing business leaders in an era of hybrid and remote workforces.
Highlights
00:16 — Wayne describes the importance of feeling connected to work and finding purpose in daily tasks.
01:07 — Leaders must re-enforce the culture and beliefs within a company, and link those values to employee expectations.
01:54 — Most work can be checked on some measure of output. CXOs set the cultural framework, establish the toolset, and tell employees what the measurements are to ensure each role delivers value.
02:32 — Ranganathan illustrates how attitudes toward work have shifted. With a distributed workforce, bosses can no longer rely on seeing employees working as their primary measure of productivity.
02:55 — Sadin describes the fallacy of seeing productivity in person as a reasonable metric. Even pre-pandemic, many jobs existed outside of a company’s immediate headquarters.
04:08 — How do business leaders support the employees who talk to the customers?
