Recently I came across this webpage: How Much Is “The Way We’ve Always Done It” Costing You?. In this page, there is a cost calculator to determine how much time and money you and your team waste on inconsistent processes, status meetings, and tedious, manual work. You may access the cost calculator here: https://www.smartsheet.com/status-quo-cost-calculator Immediately, I keyed in the information to the best of my knowledge and was so amazed to see the time I spent in each of those areas: work processes, status meetings, manual work. Here is a summary of 57Network’s result.   We are now in the last quarter of 2020. It has been a challenging and tough year. We have seen and heard from many who rose above this unprecedented circumstances.
Nobody is prepared for this global pandemic. What initially thought to be an outbreak in a city called Wuhan had in no time spread throughout the world. City after city are in lockdown. Lives, businesses, economy and many aspects are impacted. Like it or not, we have to make new adjustments. I oftentimes find myself forgot to put on my mask when I got out of my car. So, I decided to put it on the moment I leave my house, get in the car and get out of the car. Instead of "when can I meet you?", the new question is "when can we zoom?" Instead of planning for our weekly grocery shopping, we find ourselves reviewing every available merchant online to decide where should we purchase our meat, vegetables, fruits and other essential items from. So, how about our work? Will it ever be the same again? How many of you have been attending meeting after meeting over zoom just to get updates and realign with your team? Is this the effective use of your time? You want to get more out of your workday so you can achieve everything you set out to do. But with never ending email, multiple chat apps, and impossible-to-find information, it’s hard to know whether you’re working on the most important things — or if you’re even getting anything done. You need a way to work that works for you — and that can adapt as your tasks, projects, and programs change. One that enables real collaboration, gives you the information you need to be successful, and frees you up to innovate and drive better results.

In spite of surging investments, fewer than one-third of digital transformations succeed at improving a company’s performance, according to McKinsey & Company.
Yet the effective employment of digital strategies drives key benefits and across business lines, from improved productivity that fuels innovation to better business insights – but only if you approach digital transformation the right way. It’s not the underlying technology that accounts for the poor performance of so many digital transformation projects. Rather, a lack of organizational readiness is a frequent culprit, including underestimating or not understanding the work and resources required, and factors such as poor data governance and executive cohesion. Here are three key ways to beat the odds and achieve digital transformation success. by Renee Coulombe Digital transformation (DX) is an important step in a company's ability to stay competitive in today’s evolving business landscape. But what exactly is digital transformation?
Some people think digital transformation is providing the newest and most relevant technologies to their employees in order to increase productivity levels. While digital technology is a major part of digital transformation, the concept itself is more complex. by Katie Bouwkamp Welcome to our employee spotlight series, featuring profiles on team members across our Bellevue, Boston, and UK offices.

by Andre Ropeta With the growth of team collaboration in the cloud, information workers often waste time switching between applications or copying and pasting information into multiple systems. To work more efficiently, business teams today require a centralized hub for communication and work processes.
Microsoft Teams is now being used by 440,000 organizations, and with usage projected to accelerate, it’s clear that the popularity of this collaboration application is growing at a rapid pace. With many Smartsheet customers using Teams, we are excited to increase the capabilities of our integration.

For companies and IT teams striving to become more agile, the technology they adopt needs to enable faster decision making while ensuring the administrative controls and data security vital to scaling software platforms across their entire organization.
In a recent report, McKinsey found that agile organizations have a “70 percent chance of being in the top quartile of organizational health,” which is attributed to their ability to achieve customer centricity, quicker time to market for developing products, increased revenue growth, reduced costs, and better employee engagement. The report also identified characteristics that successful agile organizations have in common, including a willingness to embrace next-generation enabling technology. |
