Tele-Whiskey: Digital Conversations that Provoke

Those great conversations that only happen over a pint at the pub, a splash of bourbon before dinner, a cuppa tea during a mid-morning break, or some coffee over a tasty breakfast. Semi-filtered, some strong opinions, and you might not agree … but we will certainly get you thinking…We are not here to define and solve problems. We are here to talk about stuff that most people don’t want to talk about – non-Politically Correct tech, vulnerable leadership, “inside baseball” for corporate life. Join us for a "telewhiskey"...

Tele-Whiskey: Digital Conversations that Provoke

1. Origin Story

November 17, 2020 • James P. MacLennan • Season 1 • Episode 1

The inaugural edition of Tele-Whiskey. Learn the origin story of this podcast – a bit of background on the idea behind the name. Plus, you will hear excerpts from some conversations with Really Smart People enjoying a drink with me (yes, that’s what Tele-Whiskey refers to.)

We will introduce the idea of "Digital Conversations that Provoke" by calling into question the whole idea of Digital Transformation. Is “Digital” becoming a buzzword? How can we focus on what really matters?

This episode features excerpts from conversations with Tom O’Connor (CIO and thought leader out of the UK) and Alecia Edmonds, a Learning & Development professional out of Boston. We will also introduce an upcoming series of TeleWhiskey sessions on a specific topic ... one that should spark some interest.
