Ep. 30: The Digital Growth Mindset

  • On This Episode

James Robert LayCEO, Digital Growth Institute

“Digital transformation” is a phrase du jour right now and, as is the case with any overused phrase, it’s lost some of its meaning amidst the punditry. But James Robert understands the definition and what it means to be an organization focused on “digital growth.”

So much so, he wrote a book: Banking on Digital Growth.

And despite writing the book throughout 2019 (remember life before the pandemic?), the contents of his book are even more relevant in the current and post-COVID world.

We’re moving through a three-stage period right now, according to James Robert: “Triage, Treatment, and Transformation.” He takes us through these three phases and talks through how organizations get into the right mindset (and out of the “cave of comfort”) to fully embrace the transformative period in front of us.

What are real tangible steps to digital growth today? Listen in for great tips from James Robert.
