Realising potential of digitisation... takes people!
I really enjoyed getting quizzed for the keynote at our Salesforce Ecosystem, Trailhead Connect, virtual career fair last week and to send off some amazing job seekers to meet with a diverse set of employers. This was just one initiative that Salesforce and Partners are delivering to help our customer and partners have access to the talent they need.
When I first started leveraging the Salesforce Platform 14 years ago, I remember being wowed by the fact that a platform that was so easy to use could have such a big impact on my sales teams. And although we started simply, we quickly moved towards solving more and more complex challenges, including creating one of the first Google Maps integrations to visualise our global project portfolio.
Today, the Salesforce Platform is a much more mature suite. The core has had 42 major innovation releases since I started using it, and we now include Tableau, Mulesoft and soon to be Slack capabilities in our offerings. However, what was true 14 years ago is still true today:
The technology is amazing and the power of digitisation can be truly transformative – but only if the people who implement and run the platform have the skills and experience to make the most of it.
We've just published three related blogs that look at the connections between people, technology, and digital transformation. Do have a look, share with your own network, and get in touch with any comments or to discuss.
The first - Realising the potential of digitisation needs technology and people
In order to deliver the most impactful transformation, we need to have the right people in place. This means a team that’s diverse, experienced and highly skilled.
The second - Realising the Potential of Digitisation: Key Roles
Salesforce and our partners know that in order to realise the true power of digitisation, our customers need to have access to enough diverse, skilled and experienced people to deliver an exceptional transformation.

And the third - Realising the potential of digitisation - finding talent and opportunities
Where should you start searching for your opportunity, your next great hire? Despite all the opportunity and big numbers like 4.2M new jobs by 2024 in the Salesforce Economy, it's sometimes really difficult to know where to turn to for work and to match talent.
Good luck with your search! Do let us know how you get on. My Salesforce Ecosystem roles have been amazing, #dreamjobs, so far. I wish the same for you and look forward to hearing your Trailblazer story develop.
