Vivek has a really cool varied background that includes human resources, computer science and program management which uniquely positions him to talk about a word and a term that he's coined called 'phygital', which is the intersection between the physical space and the digital world.
In this episode, Vivek and I are going to discuss exciting topics about the collaboration of HR and technology, empathy, changing career paths, and people as the main asset of an organization from a program management perspective.
From Vivek:
“It's been an exponential journey and I strongly believe that we were able to enable these learners and overall, I think the benefits out of it when really by taking that step to bridge this gap between human resources, technology and enabling create experiences for people.”
➡️ What’s a day like in Vivek’s life managing a huge global portfolio?
➡️ Changing career paths from Computer Science and in the technical aspects of the profession to get a master's degree in a very different line of work and in different emphasis.
➡️ The HR profession is growing in complexity, does it need a massive re-skill and retool?
➡️ Microlearning approach when building the gap between technology and human resources.
Organizations have come to the realization that in most cases, projects are successful or unsuccessful on the strength of people, not the technology, not the project plan, not the resources, but the individuals themselves and the change management aspects of especially transformation.
