Description

Rozario Chivers has worn many hats throughout his career, he's spent a lot of time within enterprise organisations in particular within the finance space. Roz has developed an expertise of implementing modern technology initiatives around creating visual user interfaces with JavaScript technologies.

 

Throughout his career Roz has navigated the political landscape of implementing digital transformative change. Throughout this podcast we discuss what challenges come up, how to overcome them and why so many digital transformations in large enterprise companies fail after kicking off.

 

Roz credits design thinking methodology to the success of his digital projects, something we elaborate in depth on. We also go down a few rabbit holes around navigating your way through the politics of a large organisation and discuss something we love, the dark triad.
