In today’s episode of The Jake Dunlap Show we are joined by Martin Birch, CEO and President of ibml, an IT Services and Consulting company that offers guidance on digital transformation and major technology trends like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud.
Martin shares with us the values that guide him in his work and life and how disregarding the fast evolution of technology can overrun even companies that had been market leaders (Kodak, Marvel Comedy, Blockbuster etc).

Quotes
“She (his grandmother) thought me some valuable life lessons, and one of them was actually incorporated into our values here at ibml, and that was: Do the right thing! (...) If you always do the right thing you never have to worry about anything.”
“The right decision doesn’t always mean the easy decision. Sometimes we confuse “nice” and “easy” (...)The nice thing is not always the right thing.”
“The speed of change is happening so much faster now. Technology shifts are just happening so, so fast it's really difficult to keep up with it. So, the disruptors can come in and move very nimble.”
“I think the key is combining “artificial intelligence” (AI) with “human intelligence” (HI) (...) not replace the human, but actually help the human do their job more effectively, more efficiently, faster and easier.”
“Companies very often don’t know what the technology can really do for them. (...) Start with the outcome in mind. What’s the outcome you want to achieve and then unlearn everything, start with a blank sheet of paper and say, what can technology do for you to help you get to that outcome better?”
“Even though things are speeding up, and the rate of change is speeding up, the way that you implement change or new processes successfully is by planning in advance.”
“I think one of the big changes that’s happened is that people want more flexibility (...) the ability to control their own destiny, work how they want to work.”
“I’m a huge believer that ultimately the human race will always overcome and I believe there’s far more good out there than there is bad.”
