Welcome to Breaking Silos!

We've launched this podcast to help people within digital roles address the big challenges they face and discuss the industry's key themes by leveraging today's best ideas in business and technology to break down old barriers to collaboration and business success.

Each week you will be joined by one of our three Breaking Silos hosts from Ideagen and together you will learn from experts across diverse industries to save time, cut costs and simplify your workflows. We aim to help you build a more connected, digital-first tomorrow.

This week, Breaking Silos brings you a compelling chat between Ideagen’s Chris Smith – VP of Collaboration Marketing, and Stuart Rowe – SVP of Collaboration about building a world class culture.

Stuart’s storied background and experience working within retail and entertainment giants like HMV, Play.com, GAME and Chemist Direct. Chris and Stuart delve into what it takes to create a world class culture that fuels high performance, and the role culture plays on collaboration, including:

• What culture is
• The importance of having a culture that can embrace change
• What to avoid when building a thriving culture
• Valued qualities when building a thriving culture
