Striking the Perfect Balance: Navigating the Digital and Human Experience in Business Growth25 May 202300:21:51

In this episode of the Growth Unlocked Podcast, a mini-series in partnership with RBC, Edwin welcomes Don Ludlow, the Vice President of Small Business, Strategy & Partnerships at RBC. He discusses the adoption of digital technologies in Canadian businesses. 

Don believes the pandemic accelerated digital engagement but has slowed down rather than peaked. Canadians still have a strong interest in digital experiences, although they also enjoy the in-person component of doing business. There is a gap between consumers' belief in continued digital growth and business owners' perception of it. 

Don emphasizes balancing digital and human experiences, especially when engaging with younger generations who value both. Small businesses can leverage digital tools and capabilities to become more competitive and reach a wider audience. They should invest in areas such as streamlining finances, digitizing the supply chain, and using data to understand their business and find new opportunities. Don suggests setting measurable goals to assess whether a business is on the right track, such as establishing a loyal customer base and innovating products and services. Small business owners should invest in digitization and technology while maintaining their human touch and customer interactions. 

Don also mentions RBC's resources and tools to support small businesses digital transformation journey. These include insights tools, digitizing payments, cash flow planning, automating payroll, and cybersecurity solutions. Interested individuals can visit the RBC website, specifically the RBC Small Business Navigator, for more information and access to these resources.

Human-Centered Leadership: The Key To Success in 2023 and Beyond with Josh Bersin (Replay)03 Jan 202300:25:38

The pandemic has drastically changed the way we work. With social distancing rules in place, companies had to quickly adapt by facilitating remote working capabilities for their employees. This increased reliance on digital skills and knowledge as more people had to use virtual platforms such as Zoom or Slack to connect. Furthermore, traditional team hierarchies have been replaced with more flat structures that can be managed remotely. 


Human-centred leadership is about putting people first—employees and customers alike—and trusting them to make decisions based on their best judgment. It is also about encouraging open communication between managers and employees so that everyone’s objectives are met effectively. Finally, it involves providing resources, tools, and support for employees to succeed in their roles, even if they are working remotely. In short, it's about creating an environment where everyone feels safe and respected enough to do their best daily work. 


Adapting management practices has become essential today as the pandemic has drastically changed our work. Josh Bersin believes that embracing a human-centred approach is critical for any organization looking to increase productivity while simultaneously having happy and engaged employees. By empowering your employees with trust and providing them with the resources they need to succeed, you can create an environment where everyone feels safe and respected enough to do their best work every day – no matter where they’re located or what job they do within your organization. Ultimately human-centred leadership leads happier and more productive teams who are better equipped for success now – and beyond 2021 when things return (hopefully) to normal!

 “You need to figure out yourself in order to do something for a long period of time. Flow does not happen momentarily. It’s a building up process and it has to stay there for an extended period of time, so you have to find your own way on how to consistently do something.” Pauline Dougald
