The Future of Enterprise Resiliency
“ In the context of transformations , investments in people have not been on par with investments in systems and processes .” Abdi continues , “ There ' s no point in having all the technology if you don ' t have the responsive culture and programs in which people can adapt to new ways of doing things , where the technology becomes a part of the company working alongside the people .”
“ There has to be an appropriate level of investment in your most valuable asset to take advantage of the full spectrum of capabilities . This is not an afterthought for us – the people side is of such significance that we have underscored our AI practice with the theme ‘ Age of With ’ – humans with machines . We bring our Human Capital teams to the table to help us with the change management brought about by industrial and societal changes , with our Future of Work solutions .”
Abdi shifts to a wider angle , and discusses his own organization ’ s culture : “ In addition to the investment in skills , as a leader of any group of people today , you have to understand what is happening in society – the differing points of view , expectations and passions of individuals working in your organisations , including their social views . You have to have that clarity and that openness . Here at Deloitte , we consider diversity , equality , and inclusiveness a vital part of our cultural fabric .”
Abdi reflects , “ That culture was what initially attracted me to Deloitte – our ability to provide the diversity , opportunities and performance expectations that get the best out of me and every person who is here .”
