Protecting Our Global Economic Network from Pandemics

The word pandemic comes from the Greek words “all” and “people.”  It is a fitting title given to the COVID-19 disease that crosses all people groups, economies and continents without respect to ethnicity or status.  It has a way of pulling back the curtains and showing us what makes the world run.

Pandemics travel on our community’s economic and transportation networks. Because pandemics are international travelers, they disrupt our global economic networks, which are the sources of much of our economic prosperity today.

Digital Expert Interviews: Ian Bresnahan, CEO Itential on Digital Transformation in Networking

In this episode, I have the privilege of interviewing the co-founder and CEO of Itential, Ian Bresnahan, on the role of networks in helping and/or hindering digital transformation initiatives.  Digital transformation is often closely related to making a company more agile – able to act and react to changing customer and market requirements quickly.  Networks are what connects all the different systems and processes together, so having the ability to quickly change systems and processes utilizing networks takes special planning, solutions and strategies.   I found this topic fascinating and am sure you will to.
