Technology is a non-durable investment. When your wrap your head around that as a leader and a team, you change your approach to IT. You embody agile in your architecture and your portfolio. It’s a mind shift that enables continuous innovation. #cio #hmgciobos – at Boston, MA

@united ‘we tried paging you to tell you your business class seat is broken so it can’t recline’ ‘Ok. Do I have any choice?’ ‘Nope.’ ‘Cool. Ghetto.’

Hey @GetSpectrum - for years, I’ve been trying to get you to stop killing trees and update the fact that my house is not a multi unit anymore. This is literally three months of bullshit that you’ve mailed me. STOP IT. #cx #pollution #WTF

Every single January, @Spotify's algorithm says 'You've been listening to SO much holiday music the last few weeks, you must want more!!' It takes ~6 weeks for it to fully purge the vapors of xmas hangover. There has got to be a better way... yes? #algorithmfail #discoverweekly

Hey @Delta ~ DL5203 was cancelled? But reinstated? But we took off? But we’re an hour late? And I missed my international connection? But you don’t want to compensate for a hotel overnight? But you thank me for my platinum status? What the everliving hell. #customerexperience

Wow.. @32BarBlues ... your eCommerce site may be one of the worst / most out of date I've seen in years. 'How did you hear about us: Please select from this list of ~200 nearly identical codes..' I hope the clothes are better! #ux #designfail #askingyourcustomerstodowork

Best customer service? @delta, Margaret had me rebooked within 5 min of a flight change. And I’m actually landing an hour earlier. Thank you!! #customerexperience #atlanta

Ever have a 'red pill/blue pill' moment that changed your context completely? I enjoy every episode of 'It's Not Personal' but I'm super proud of Ep. 4: 'Red Pill in the Morning.' @srigoletti & I share those moments that changed everything. open.spotify.com/episode/1OD… #Leadership
What tools do you use w/o thinking? An email when a call would be better? A powerpoint just to make your point? This week - @srigoletti & I talk about how to better use tech day to day & how to engage one another w/ intention. open.spotify.com/episode/7C6… #leadership #podcast
