There’s no shortage of a-ha moments in this week’s conversation with Trailblazer, podcaster, and award-winning entrepreneur Heather Black, founder and CEO of Supermums. Heather shares how she discovered that designing systems is a science upon itself through her and her team’s work of training over 200 parents a year in Salesforce administration, consultancy, and Marketing Cloud capabilities. Elliott and JP discuss the importance of setting the right expectations for end users, and the gang compare thoughts on getting the feel for an organization’s culture and how that impacts their approaches to transformation.
