As some may know, I've been on leave for several months to spend time with my family while my mom battled multiple myeloma that had stopped responding to treatments. She died on December 18th. Thank you to Accenture and my colleagues for making it possible for me to be with my family. I'm incredibly grateful for the support and compassion. I look forward to returning to work on Monday and returning to posting about infrastructure and capital projects, but before I do, I'd like to be human and share just a little bit about how impactful my mom was to me. Amongst many other things, she taught me: - to be well researched and to question deeply  - toughness often wins - that “they” might have a lot to say, but I ultimately know best for myself - it’s ok to have deep and powerful emotions  - it was ok to be exceptional  - talking with intention and compassion can solve pretty much anything no matter how hard  - things will always look better in the morning - how to fight for what I believe in - if you want a vision to become reality you have to take action, even if you’re scared to start - it’s important to make peace with what other people did or didn’t do to you - the joy of making and listening to music  - to be proud of who I am  - how to listen to animals and understand what they’re communicating  - that there is nothing better than a hug from mom  - how to navigate migraines and to listen to my body better to avoid them - the importance of drinking water  - that my siblings will be my lifelong best friends  - sometimes when people grow, things don’t align as well as they might have before  - to love reading - to be curious  - that salt goes a long way to elevating the enjoyment in food - it’s ok to be more sensitive than others  - it’s ok to cry - you can make every house better than what it is when you buy it  - to appreciate the stars - to seek quiet  - the beauty of the sky and how enjoyable watching clouds and lightning can be  - to respect the power of nature  - the right way to string lights on a Christmas tree. No dark spots allowed  - to always dream  - that art and beauty can recharge and rejuvenate you  - how to paint houses  - how to lay flagstone patios - how to plant plants  - you have to eat everything in a handful of trail mix, not just pick out what you like - carob sucks and should never be described as being like chocolate  - to have high expectations of myself and others  - how to take time to open gifts  - how to not take myself too seriously  - about dangling participles  - to protect my skin from the sun and she taught me that cancer can destroy anyone, no matter how healthy, no matter how strong. ❤️ RIP Ma https://lnkd.in/grga4Gk6

The conversations around talent strategies often focus on needed roles or skills, which makes sense. But we find that the conversations around roles and/or skills often have a very loose (if any!) clear connection to which business capabilities they are contributing to, much less how those are prioritized based on direct impact on business goals. It's hard to make the most informed talent plans when we don't do the work of connecting these foundational threads first! #TalentStrategy #BusinessStrategy #CapabilityDriven #Leadership #Transformation

With #digitaltransformation on the minds of many leaders, getting an outside perspective and partnering with a multidisciplinary team of experts can make all the difference — specifically in choosing the most effective path to achieve desired outcomes. I'd like to share this stat below from some recent client work. Focusing on modernizing the existing technology ecosystem, we developed and executed a plan to accelerate their cloud strategy. By thinking differently, we executed course corrections yielding avoidance of material IT spend.
