Digital Leader Fireside Chat
The IBIT\’s online webinar was hosted by Munir Mandviwalla and quest speaker was Mark who is an expert for diagnostic business and strategy.
The main topic of the speech was importance of purpose of work. The speaker was talking about his motives for his workplace. His company has 2 billion dollars of revenue and he is an experience IT specialist. Their key term for business is drug distribution and other public health services.
His example about bed mattress really impressed me. He was basically explaining the fact that when people are motived to invest on something when they know it will last long. Basically, if you spend lots of time on something, you will be willing to invest. It\’s same ideal concept for your work too. It\’s something that you will have for rest of your life. So, it is important that you put some effort and decision on it. In addition to that, he gave the great questioned that asked by his sister, \’you can invest on people or things, what you will decide?\’ Then he decided to invest for people. That\’s why he changed his job to healthcare company that take care of sick people.
What I learned was:
- Purpose of work and how it connects with you.
- How we need to find our inner motivation and drive force to feel happy while working.
- The balance between invest or make income for profit companies.
- Some qualifications too became an IT specialist such as: high problem solving, handling confused designs and being able to work with complex.
- Importance of finding yourself at your best situation and how your performance gets affected by that.
- Automation technologies and how they affect people at workplace.
It was really beneficial for me because all I wanted to do was working for automative companies and I wasn\’t sure about limiting my area for focus. Now, I feel confident about deciding something specific in order to be successful at workplace.
