Beware of Superheroes and Resume-Driven Development (Ep. 71)

This week, Chad Sakac, a longtime EMC executive who in recent months joined Pivotal, joins the show to talk about his new role. Chad spends most of his time on the road working closely with enterprise customers, helping them achieve transformational business outcomes. Chad, Jeff and Dormain chat about the importance of focusing on business outcomes to achieve digital transformation success, why a superhero-led team usually isn't the best approach, and how to choose the right platform abstractions.
