<p>This week, I was thrilled to take part in Envision, our brand-new digital series for senior business leaders, which we’re co-producing with our close partners Accenture and Avanade.</p>
<p>Hosted by <strong>Stephanie Mehta</strong>, editor-in-chief of Fast Company magazine, our first episode featured dynamic speakers and a conversation that centered on thought leadership topics such as digital resilience, the future of work, and how individuals and organizations alike can find purpose and drive momentum.</p>
<p>We also aired localized versions of the program, which allowed leaders to discuss business news and topics relevant to their region, such as the impact of COVID-19 on local industries.</p>
<p>To kick things off, Microsoft CEO <strong>Satya Nadella</strong> talked with Stephanie about the evolution of the workplace, what it takes to create a resilient and agile business culture, and Microsoft’s embrace of “stakeholder capitalism” to serve not just shareholders but a broad community of stakeholders.</p>
<p>Satya was followed by Accenture CEO <strong>Julie Sweet</strong> and Microsoft Executive Vice President <strong>Judson Althoff</strong>, who shared the five questions that organizations need to think carefully about to transform in a post-pandemic world. I had the privilege of interviewing <strong>Christophe Beck</strong>, President and Chief Operating Officer of Ecolab, to learn how his company is bringing together technology and people to address the world’s biggest sustainability challenges.</p>
<p>In addition, <strong>Mitra Azizirad</strong>, Corporate Vice President of AI and Innovation Marketing at Microsoft, described why successful organizations make innovation a top priority and how to treat innovation as a platform. Finally, Avanade CEO <strong>Pamela Maynard</strong> spoke with psychologist <strong>Dr. Michael Gervais</strong> and Microsoft Chief Diversity Officer <strong>Lindsay-Rae McIntyre</strong> about the mindset required to succeed and how to use purpose to change things for the better.</p>

Speakers will include Microsoft Executive Vice President <strong>Jean-Philippe Courtois</strong>; <strong>Caroline Fanning</strong>, Chief Human Resources Officer of Avanade; our Chief Environmental Officer<strong> Lucas Joppa</strong>; Accenture Chief Leadership and Human Resources Officer <strong>Ellyn Shook</strong>; and <strong>Julia White</strong>, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Azure.</p>
