Quotes

“Most work actually gets done cross-functionally, so you need to have a defined workflow that is the map of how work gets done across the organizations, and then have some monitoring on them to make sure that you're continually reflecting and speeding yourselves up. Most of the folks who try Asama start because they say handoffs are very difficult, and they don't want things to fall through the cracks. That's some of the problems that we try to solve by just linking data, tools, and teams together for these handoffs and workflows, and then allowing for some monitoring reporting so that they can get better every time that they run it.” - Alex Hood, CPO at Asana

“The very notion of hybrid work is supportive of people who prefer to work in many different modes. I think it's by shining a light and looking at places where we have an opportunity to improve where we ensure people don't get left behind… I do think that technology plays a big role in this as does our own openness in leadership to accept new viewpoints and to think differently.” - Wendy Pfeiffer, CIO at Nutanix
