be great to have a regional representative to support the regional CTO's to help act as conduit of information. Sharing the great work that is being done, and developing a feedback loop.

I'm up for doing what I can.

Can I join?

Agree @ckinson regional support is key

Count me in!

14 more - come on Tech Community - we need you

check your inbox :)

@fasteddie111 will do

I'm game

E-mail sent too - would like to learn more!

has to come from personal responsibility first, learn via play a la Ed Hess

By supporting the constant learner ethic

being willing to change and open to change

Across all regions, CSC is driving agility, responsiveness in the employees, equipping them with the skills, offerings & partner tools to respond to changing biz and tech dynamics

certainly different around the world.different regions adopt different technologies or jump technologies, countries also adopt at different rates as well thus effecting digital culture.

Digital Culture change will differ across regions because of the difference in CULTURES themselves. Just within the UK there are multiple culture each working at their own speed in terms of change and adoption of digital

Help customers leverage technology as a competitive advantage in its internal and external operations

@DeonErwee have you read "Boiling Frogs"? https://github.com/G... what do you think?

@NigelBarron how do you learn to "act" differently e.g. a #DigitalCulture

proactively change/transform internally as well by encouraging/supporting more innovation even startups...

effective digital takes both tech and context – learn from young and old

Enabling tech staff through TechTalks + Trainings + Certifications+ Practice Labs (Virtual)- on CSC offerings, + AWS, Azure, SNOW, NetBond, Tools and platforms enabling DevOps, Remodeled CSC University, Defined career progression for tech staff

I think curiosity is a must have in a digital culture

CSCCOM2017 ? - We have a large community of folks who may not consider themselves "Technologists" , but who drive the day to day behaviour of technologists. We need to sit infront of the mirror and repeat "Digital Culture applies to me"

we need to embed the Tech strategy into the our induction - I meet a lot of people inducted straight into programmes/accounts without getting a CSC Digital Journey induction.

What do your kids know that you don't, but should??

Martha Johnson concluded that "CSC culture change is "drip drip" not "big bang" - is that still true ? If it is how do we approach culture change at CSC ? How would Accenture be solving this problem ?

Changing habits is also important

@seymourd68 Agree, i believe we have the material through the TownHalls and various talks, the entry pack should provide a list of this as essential reading/viewing. Would add Key Digital Shifts to this.

It feels like we have started to segrate comms across regions/industries/imperatives/offerings much more than organise collaborative cross organisational comms.

Different types of work (Utility, Commodity, Specialist, Innovation) require different ways of working, contractual models, technologies, supply chains, cultures, processes...

Sharing knowledge will foster innovation; just like silicon valley when it first started.

totally agree

@ckinson - Yes - I honestly do not believe you folks could have done any more to provide & encourage the platform for information, learning & collaboration, for digital. Including incentives!! - That's not the same as cultural change :(

@NigelBarron Curiosity is the key skill that employers are hiring for sure!

@NigelBarron Actually I say curious and impatient!

By Implementing new skills & driving them globally....

Curiosity, impatience, and the willingness to be embarrassed in their pursuit -- a big issue with client execs

@DougNeal sure it's hard to admit that you had a failed experiment... but taking the blame is hard.. but I've seen one CEO recently do it!

consider doing1on 1 training for client execs - get their kids involved - parents are used to comments from their kids

could we look to the challenges we have had across the Total org. in taking up Agile Practises / Scrum in learning how to improve our changes at a Digital Culture ?

Ideas great, planning good but at some pt we must act doing something breaking from current image (internal/external) & which sets the course of where we want to go.Of all the talk nothing about destination, what is the vision, what is the why?

re boiling frogs - I thinks its wholely likely that some frogs could/will/have evolved to recognise that someone has their hand on the gas dial and jump out straight away ! ;)

It helps when you make learning cool - something you brag about to your peers - tools like Microsoft HoloLens may help

@DougNeal My last course in May - MITProfessionalX Course Diary - IOTx Internet of Things: Roadmap to a Connected World #Bragging ;-)

How do you know if it is a good idea / innovation? I once asked a Venture Capital. He said if it works 10 times or more better.

@NigelBarron Great! You should want to do things you can brag about -- why else do it?

@DougNeal @NielBarron For Love and because you really want to and need to know more? and to inspire others

@GeoSuperGirl Of course Sarah, that goes without saying

@NigelBarron part of our day job, probably why we love our jobs!

- how many of your apps are ones your clients use?
