Business: Transformed
The Business: Transformed podcast was created to address the challenges, the fear, and the uncertainty of leaders who face an incredible degree of change in their businesses. Social, economic, regulatory, and market changes, influenced and underpinned by an increasing pace of technology adoption, are changing both the process and time allowed for making decisions, gathering information, going to market, hiring, collaborating, and structuring a workforce and workplace. To keep their companies in the winner's column, leaders today need to understand how their most successful peers approach, prioritize, influence, and manage change. The Business: Transformed podcast is where you can find those stories.

Episode 2
In this episode, we continue our conversation with Gary Crittenden, who shares experiences from his time as CFO of American Express, Citigroup, Melville Corporation (the then-parent company of CVS), and others. Gary shares his thoughts on whether decision-making and planning should be centralized or decentralized, how important taking care of employees is to enable successful change, where decision-making should happen in an organization, and how to manage innovation in a company where not everybody sees the value in the new thing.
This is the second of two episodes covering my conversation with Gary Crittenden.
