“There's a really strong recognition, across the entire organization, of the importance of our colleagues and the importance of their experiences, and the correlation to our success as a company.”

– Gary Kensey, American Express

In this episode of Digital Workplace Impact, Paul Miller talks to Gary Kensey from American Express, the winner of the Digital Workplace of the Year Award 2019. The awards celebrate organizations and practitioners who have excelled in creating well-executed, high-performing digital workplace environments – and this year’s winners were announced in June at Digital Workplace Experience 2019 in Chicago.

American Express really stood out from the rest for our judges this year – with high scores across the criteria, but most especially for strategy and governance, business case and user engagement.

Tune in and hear from Gary, as he tells us what it’s like to be recognized in the awards, what makes for a winning digital workplace, recalls lessons learned along the way (and pitfalls to watch out for), and lays out the focus for the future.
