While we take the work we do incredibly seriously, you can tell by the beginning and end of this video, we don't always take ourselves so seriously. We liked this video so much that we decided to display it prominently on our homepage! The goal of this video is to share what makes TrellisPoint different. We're different because we focus on strategy and people! We work with organizations that want a trusted partner to help them leverage technology as a key differentiator instead of a cost center. With our time-tested, proprietary success frameworks we're able to complete Microsoft and strategic growth implementations with less cost and in less time than others. Thank you to Andrew Ford, Mike Spence and Peter Katz for doing such a great job of explaining what makes TrellisPoint different and WHY companies should partner with us!

Investing in Innovation is a balancing act. Just ask Ford. In today's episode of The Ungrowth Show, we dive deep into the right and wrong ways of innovating products and services. In particular, how to build and invest in (internal and/or external) innovation teams. Too often, companies either avoid innovation due to fear or overcommit without a clear strategy. Both approaches can lead to lost market share, misallocated resources, and, ultimately, a struggle to keep up with the competition. We discuss real-life examples, like Ford's attempt with their Smart Mobility initiative, where separating innovation from core operations led to significant challenges. The key takeaway? Innovation needs to be a well-integrated, strategic effort—not a siloed project or an afterthought. As we continue to evolve in a digital age, remember that successful innovation requires a balance between ambition and practicality, focusing on long-term growth rather than quick wins. Do not let your company fall behind by either avoiding innovation or diving in without direction. There is a smarter way to innovate that ensures growth and sustainability.

"And then the lawyer in the room asked him if he can get that proprietary information back out of ChatGPT" The answer is no, you can't. Be careful with what you and your team are sharing with our new AI friends. Some of them will use what you share for training and then anyone can ask them questions about your proprietary data, and it will freely share it. It's just trying to be helpful, after all. If you have a Copilot license you can switch it to the "work" setting which will not share anything you share with it outside of your organization. This can be a great option for teams that want to leverage AI but don't want to give away proprietary information. #AI #Copilot #Data
