ItвЂ™s about making enterprises more human, applying a human dimension to both deploying technology at speed and innovation at scale.

The Human Enterprise reframes our relationship with technology to enable new ways of working and unlock new paths to value. It requires organizations escape the historical definition of вЂњworkвЂќ to become what we call a вЂњHuman EnterpriseвЂќ. The reason? Transforming in a way that drives significant business value and has meaningful impact on the way organizations generate value for stakeholders requires applying a new, human-centered framework. Yet digital transformation efforts at many organizations are stalling. The pressure to radically reshape organizations is only accelerating: industries keep converging, new competitors appearing, and societal and stakeholder expectations rising. IвЂ™d also love to hear the words that resonate with you.Why are so many digital transformation efforts stalling? Because leaders remain fixated on technology, at the expense of humanity.

I invite you to join me if you need more flow too.

Let yourself go from the pressure to pick the perfect word, and one will emerge.

What if you picked more than one? People play with one word but there are no written rules that say you canвЂ™t have two or three.

If the one you land on doesnвЂ™t work for you in practice, change it.

Whichever one resonates with you in this moment is the right one.

DonвЂ™t stress that you need to get it right.

If your word isnвЂ™t giving you the energy you need, pick another one that does.

Who do you need to be? What do you need to call forth within yourself?.

Think about what you want more of in your life.

HereвЂ™s my advice for finding your word for 2020: You should feel it within you, thatвЂ™s what matters. YouвЂ™re not going to make custom t-shirts, and business cards with your word emblazoned on it. I firmly believe that no matter what word you choose, itвЂ™s a starting place and an intention. I loved a recent piece from Gary Gruber pondering what word he should pick for the year ahead.

WhatвЂ™s Your Word for 2020? Not sure? HereвЂ™s Some Advice: If thereвЂ™s a word that can keep me in action, filled with ease and embracing an open mind and open heart, itвЂ™s flow. Holding back? Got to go all in to find the flow and dive deeper into the creative process. Someone making me irate? Breathe and flow. Is something difficult? What would flow be like? Feel like? Where can I create some flow? What am I doing thatвЂ™s blocking flow within me? As my word of the year, flow is about going with the flow, finding flow, and creating flow from places of resistance. Why Flow?Д®ase came to mind, but I donвЂ™t expect things to be easy, they rarely are. As a part of that process, a new word has emerged for 2020, and thatвЂ™s flow. The look forward was predicated on a look back, reflecting on my past. However, IвЂ™ve spent time in recent weeks looking towards a new decade. In fact, for the past several years, itвЂ™s been one word, embrace.Д®mbrace is still key for me in both my life and personal leadership. IвЂ™m not going to lie and say that it guided my every move, but it did serve as a reminder for who I want to be and how I want to live my life. Your word (or words) can help you find your way forward even when things are tough.ДЄ few times over the past decade, IвЂ™ve picked a word to set the tone for the year ahead. It is still present within you and there for you as a resource to call on any time you need it. When things are going your way or not, you are still this. Selecting one word for the year? ItвЂ™s all about who you are no matter what. The what, your goals and aspirations matter, they do, but your mindset is what will get you through the rough times. It always comes down to your way of being. What do you want to do? What do you want your results to be?ДЄ single word can set the tone for who you want and need to BE regardless of what you want to do. Words? More specifically one word for the year ahead? That feels more like a lighthouse in the dark.Дo you want to lose weight? Go to the gym more? Get promoted? Start a business? Close your business? Those are all great goals that can translate into resolutions but one critical thing is missing. For me, one word is a lot more do-able than a laundry list of resolutions that fade within weeks. ItвЂ™s a big thing on the internet, picking one word to guide your life and leadership in the year ahead.
