Technology has a profound impact on how we live and also how we work. Our organizations are going through a massive technology transformation which not only creates opportunities, but also many challenges. To help understand exactly how technology is transforming our companies, I spoke with one of the world’s top Chief Information Officers, Jim Fowler, who is the CIO of General Electric. GE is a global conglomerate with over 300,000 employees that is involved in everything from aircraft engines to healthcare.

In this episode of the future of work podcast, Jim and I look at how the role of IT and technology is changing, how Jim works with various other departments at GE to drive the future of work, GE’s FastWorks program, cybersecurity, dealing with rogue technologies in the workplace and a whole lot more. This conversation is not only a fascinating look at technology but also the economic, geo-political, and human aspects that impact technology and how we work.
