Editorial
I recently spent a weekend in Washington, DC at an amazing hotel in Chinatown, surrounded by dozens of restaurants. With so many food options, I decided it was time to take a risk.
In the tabletop strategy game "Risk," up to six players battle over 42 territories for control of the world. You can draw a parallel between Risk and the digital business world.
Your company is battling for control of a sector, competing with other 'players' while building your 'army' with the proper tools for digital action. Sometimes alliances can be formed through networking when you share a common goal.
For every Google, Apple, Microsoft, Twitter or Slack — it started with someone taking a risk. Putting the right personnel, tools, skills and technology together is what turns that risk into victory.
So, what did I decide to eat that Saturday night? Sweet and sour chicken with white rice. The same boring dish I get all the time in New York City. I never said I was a big risk taker. And for what it's worth ... it was awful.
Will you play it safe and order the sweet and sour chicken? Or will you take a risk and build a team to take on new digital territory?
Sometimes you just need to get out of your element to spur some new thoughts, decisions and risk taking. One of the conferences below might just do the trick.
If we've missed a conference of interest — anything related to digital experience, customer experience, information management, enterprise collaboration or the like — add the event to our list.
