Jim Holmes: Modern Software Delivery Migration Strategist and Coach<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a very human thing to fear change while simultaneously talking about how badly change is needed.

That\u2019s a big term, with a lot of technologies associated with it, but I still see many industries and industry leaders who are unsure of it and why they should even consider looking at it.”<\/p>\n Aditya Sharma: Senior Consultant for our Centric India\u00a0Data & Analytics Practice<\/a><\/p>\n “In this cutthroat competition, companies need help in keeping a balance between the numbers and the overall happiness index of their organization.”<\/p>\n Dinesh Reddy: Technical Consultant for our Centric India Data & Analytics Practice<\/a><\/p>\n “Given the unprecedented times we are going through, companies need to invest in maintaining the employees\u2019 mental and physical health.”<\/p>\n Lance McAlister: Director for Charlotte Operation Group and Financial Services Lead<\/a><\/p>\n “I took that encouragement and approached it with a sense of ‘nothing to lose.’\u00a0It turned out to be one of my best project experiences ever.”<\/p>\n Kapil Chaudhary: Consultant for Centric India\u2019s Data & Analytics Practice<\/a><\/p>\n “In this era of ever-changing technologies, companies should never stop thinking about investing in their people.”<\/p>\n Nina Liebler: People and Change Senior Manager for Our Saint Louis Team<\/a><\/p>\n “With all the ambiguity employees face, it is important to share what we do know. It is also ok to be vulnerable and say, ‘I don\u2019t know.’\u00a0 From the employees\u2019 perspective, knowing leaders are thinking about it is as important as knowing the answer.”<\/p>\n Kumar Ranjan: Consultant for our Centric India Data & Analytics Practice<\/a><\/p>\n “Looking forward, plan for changes to the standard operating processes with the new model of working from homes, virtual meetings, video talks without an impact on delivering unmatched experiences.”<\/p>\n Michael Dabrush: Manager for our Boston Operating Group<\/a><\/p>\n “I’m most looking forward to continued learning and applying my toolkit to help financial services clients keep up with ever-changing demands and regulations.”<\/p>\n
