The pace of change and digital disruption already stretched security teams to their limits. The proliferation of endpoint devices expanded attack surfaces. The escalating sophistication, volume and velocity of cyberattacks require 24/7 monitoring. Then, a global pandemic and the resulting “work from anywhere” response by organizations exacerbated these pressures almost literally overnight. Security teams had to manage massive deployments of employees to remote work environments, further extending the company’s security perimeter. Leaders from TEKsystems discuss how leading organizations are using the pandemic as an opportunity to reset their security strategy, improve alignment and imbed security into the culture of the organization—ultimately enabling business to drive successful outcomes.

Today we’re going to talk about how to maintain agility as a marketing agency. I know firsthand how volatile the world of marketing and public relations can be. When you take the last 12 years alone, we’ve seen the 2008-9 financial crisis, the rebuilding of the economy alongside the growth of social media and digital advertising as more sophisticated channels, the evolution of big data into something that businesses of all sizes can leverage for marketing and business insights, and now the most recent financial crisis due to COVID-19. Amidst that, marketing and sales can’t simply stop, so the role of the agency has always been vital, but its role has certainly evolved over time, and will continue to evolve.

The COVID-19 pandemic upended the global economy, but business didn’t stop—it adapted. Many organizations rewrote recovery and business continuity plans. Some companies reprioritized projects to optimize costs, while others created new business models and ways of working. Regardless of which path they took, the pandemic forced digital transformation upon businesses that weren’t necessarily ready for it. Speed is more essential than ever. Agility is an imperative. Organizations are recalibrating technology roadmaps. They’re pivoting and prioritizing the “big rocks” crucial to creating a resilient enterprise in a new digital economy.

Leaders from TEKsystems and 1Strategy discuss how organizations must take action; to not only survive, but also thrive, in the digital economy.

Today we’re going to talk about agility in how we relate to ourselves. While we’ve all grown up with unique backgrounds, habits, and things we were taught as the true measures of success, as we go through life we can often find that those things, even if well-intentioned, are either incorrect, or don’t apply to us as they might have been intended.
