Alloutcoach

This is part 2 of a memorable conversation I recently had with Peter High, President at Metis Strategy, a premier advisory firm in business strategy, data transformation, international growth, mergers & acquisitions. Peter is the host of the first, longest-running technology podcast called "Technovation", keynote speaker, regular Forbes columnist, and author of the book "Getting to Nimble". The audio podcast is available across all platforms. In this part of the discussion, Peter candidly shares his lessons redefining productivity, performance metrics, and the legacy of information technology and modern enterprise executives in general. Enjoy the show - here are the highlights below!

PEOPLE AND PRODUCTIVITY Q: Recent studies have published how many different employers began to use data to monitor their employees (“the worker productivity score”) which backfired because they were more likely to break rules. Q9: How do you interpret such results and what recommendations do you have in applying the new technology now available and analyzing data appropriately to guide decisions that impact our employees? LEGACY AND RESPONSIBILITY Q: What is your personal opinion and recommendation to CIOs and Tech leaders about the need to integrate and incentivize Corporate Social Responsibility, Type B Corporations and Responsible AI training and policies into their businesses? DATA MATURITY Q: What are the different stages of becoming a digitally mature company? Q: What makes the DevOps specialty in technology companies an important case study to learn from for other industries such as pharma and companies? METRICS Q: How do we design the types of contests and metrics that matter in a competitive environment whether or not we generate revenue directly? Are there particular trends you have seen in various organizations or industries in some of the most effective performance metrics? LEGACY Andy Warhol once said: “The idea is not to live forever but to leave ideas that will.” Q: As you look ahead into the future of some of your favorite innovative companies, what are some specific examples or the elements of a potential legacy and timeless values that businesses in the Tech industry will leave for future generations to come? Peter High: "It's the ideas they leave behind that leave a legacy and philosophy. It's the family tree we leave behind. How many reports of ours go on to lead other organizations?"
