Once upon a time, in the land of business, there were two neighboring cities: 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞 and 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐠. Each embarked on a journey of digital transformation, but their paths and perceptions varied greatly... 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐕𝐬. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐠: In Expectationville, citizens believed digital transformation was a magical express train. Hop on, and arrive instantly at Success Central. High-tech gadgets lined the streets, and everyone expected overnight miracles. But soon, they realized their train was on a loop, going nowhere fast. Meanwhile, in Realityburg, the approach was different. They saw digital transformation as a river steadily flowing, sometimes calm and sometimes challenging. They understood that navigating this river required patience, strategy, and a crew that worked together harmoniously.

Senior VP @ CBRE | Commercial Real Estate Expert Posts and comments are my own and do not reflect my employers, partners, or clients views. 🇺🇸
Thanks to the Las Vegas Review-Journal for including me in this article about University of Nevada-Las Vegas tech park and what it will bring to our community. Here's what I had to say: "Creating more buildings with a specific purpose, like the T-Mobile one, could happen more often at the tech park because Las Vegas is a tough market to pre-lease to tenants looking for a smaller space in a new office building. It might be more productive for UNLV to find a few bigger companies looking to invest more in the Las Vegas market rather than find a lot of companies looking to occupy a small space at the tech park." What are your thoughts? Will this help diversify our local economy? #UNLV #LasVegasRealEstate
UNLV’s tech park still growing, targets high-profile companies

Totally resonate. Digitalization sounds so fancy and high-tech where in reality, a successful transformation is the willingness to change and embrace changes. What is the purpose of transformation if it doesn't save cost, bring higher revenue and create high efficiency workforce? #workplacetransformation #Agile #Scrum #CIAgile

Beautifully said Jeff Winter! #DigitalTransformation is about so much more than cool technology...and DT tech is not a "quick fix"! DT initiatives take culture change, strategic planning, iteration, cooperation, determination...and of course, tech. 😉 What are your thoughts on what is needed for successful Digital Transformation (outside of technology)? #SmartFactory #Manufacturing #Warehouse #Warehousing #3PL

As the author Jeff Winter shares, digitalization of manufacturing is a nuanced journey. 1. It is about the people! Understand the impact on the users, address their concerns and map the new skill sets they will need to be successful. 2. Take the time to chart the digitization waypoints, that leads to your destination and frequently reviewing the outcomes and alignment. 3. Take a phased approach. New equipment, processes and systems will require new habits and changes to existing ones. #industry40 #digitaltransformation #smartmanufacturing
