Q . HOW DO YOU APPROACH THE CHALLENGE OF ALIGNING CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY WITH TRADITIONAL BUSINESS PROCESSES ?
» I think the key to success is redesigning business processes before you get started with technology . Many of the processes that are in place today were designed before the technology of today was available . So it ’ s important to re-imagine what the company would look if we were to start with the technology available today .
