Subject: Giant Eagle CIO Kirk Ball’s recipe for digital transformation success

In a recent episode of the Tech Whisperers podcast, Kirk Ball talked about how his leadership philosophies and playbook are informed by what I’ve dubbed the 7 Cs of great leaders: customer, culture, cultivating talent, courage, change, communication and collaboration.

Afterwards, we spent some more time discussing his extensive track record with digital transformation, including how to set up digital initiatives for success. In this Q&A, Kirk also shares how to balance the tactical and strategic (and why both are important), as well as his advice for new professionals entering the technology field.

Cisco opened up his digital transformation playbook, highlighting his focus on those thing that matter most. Tune in as he shares his foundational pillars for leading “tech inside of tech” and guiding the company to take the right fork in the road.
