What is the Future of Connectedness Podcast episode about?
Connectivity is the common denominator in how people, things and processes interact. For consumers and organizations, increased reliance on digital engagement requires reliable and robust connectivity. But, as digital interactions continue to increase, connectivity is not yet seamless or pervasive. Almost half of the world’s population is digitally connected. The global challenge now becomes about addressing the inequalities between those who are connected, and the other half of the world who is not.
In ongoing research on the future of connectedness, IDC tracks CEO priorities. In a post-pandemic economy, connectivity programs have escalated to a top three strategic consideration for business leaders. The future of connectivity is now. Covid-19 has only illustrated how critical it is for information to be created, consumed and shared in real-time. Geographic boundaries no longer exist. And a lot of innovation is now taking place to make remote access more secure, flexible, and scalable, to meet the needs of every enterprise.
On this episode of Future Enterprise, host Joe Pucciarelli, Group Vice President and IT Executive Advisor at IDC, dives into a timely and relatable topic; The Future of Connectedness.
With the help of Angela Yochem, the Executive Vice-President, Chief Transformation and Digital Officer at Novant Health, and Carrie MacGillivray, Group Vice President and General Manager, Worldwide Telecom, Mobility and IoT research and the Practice lead for IDC’s Future of Connectedness program, they discuss the critical importance of connectivity through the lens of the healthcare sector and healthcare technology. From tele-health and remote access, to the processes that have changed because of connectedness, there is no topic left untouched. This is a must-listen podcast for any business leader trying to navigate our increasingly digital world.
