What are you looking forward to in your industry?
Niraj Patel, Senior Manager, Columbus — The rapid change for businesses has been exciting. I love seeing new players quickly enter an established industry with monolithic players and disrupt the way of doing business. It pushes these giants to think differently or face harsh realities without innovating speed and efficiency. If you’re not innovating, then you’re not servicing your customers.

I’m ready to learn ways to manage the risks associated with these emerging technologies to maintain appropriate governance, trust and ethics.
Kim Howland, Senior Manager, Cincinnati — I want to see continued creativity, the acceleration of business transformation, and the true constant, change.
Ruchika Gupta, Data & Analytics Consultant, Centric India — Artificial intelligence continuously evolves to benefit many sectors and industries. I am looking forward to learning this new technology.

Shannon Stickney, Local People and Change Lead, Columbus — Companies and leaders have had to be resilient over the last nine months, and I am most looking forward to what these resilient organizations and leaders are capable of in the future. I think we are going to see innovation and creativity at levels we have never seen from those organizations. I also think we will continue to see more changes in how people work as we continue to adapt and evolve. I am excited about helping leaders and organizations tap into this creativity and engage their employees differently.
Sean McLeod, Data & Analytics, Cincinnati — In the data and analytics industry, I look forward to the increasing popularity of machine learning. I think that machine learning will be invaluable to companies in identifying what data is meaningful to their company. By leveraging this meaningful data, companies can then connect with their customers in new and efficient ways.
Natalie Bullock, People and Change Manager, Cincinnati — I am looking forward to helping leaders and teams work together better in this new normal we find ourselves in. Team effectiveness, team cohesion, and leadership coaching are all areas I am excited to dive into deeper as clients continue to realize that now more than ever, those are vital to survival in a post-COVID world.
