S6E6 - Agile Strategy and Emerging Opportunities During the Pandemic, with Jeremy Brown

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Westover talks with Jeremy Brown about agile strategy and emerging opportunities during the pandemic. See the video here: https://youtu.be/DviJgxrQ9lk. Jeremy Brown (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremyryanbrown/) is a veteran of strategy development and change management. He is equal parts introvert, where he totally digs analyzing complex data to spot patterns – and extrovert, where he would enjoy a day at an executive offsite facilitating strategy decisions and team alignment. One of his biggest challenges in life was finding something that equally balanced both sides – you know, getting a little high off of the extroverted dopamine, as well as the introverted acetylchlorine. Helping organizations transition to strategic agility is exactly in this sweet spot for Jeremy. After several years working in traditional strategy shops, he became frustrated at the typical lack of execution of the beautifully-designed and well-researched strategies that he helped develop. That led him to start digging into change management, adult learning, behavioral psychology, and agile methodologies – and he slowly began experimenting with these principles in his strategy work to further execution. The result? He loved the results and wanted to take it a step further. Not wanting to be constrained with the limited business model and political challenges of an established consulting company, he launched strategyNow with the mission of supporting his clients transition to an agile strategy approach and achieve 100% ROI of their strategy portfolios. Jeremy also enjoys raising two courageous daughters, traveling, and spending time in the majestic Utah outdoors.
