When Innovation
is the key!
he Culture of Innovation is very important and a
Tkey to success in today’s competitive business
environment. Innovation is something that delivers
value and is an intrinsic aspect of the companies. The
encouragement to innovate and think differently comes
from managers leaving decisions & resolutions to team
members, providing them complete freedom, and bestowing
complete trust in them to find the best possible solution.
Innovation and Discovery is a continuous process.
Innovation has its benefits as defined by the corporate and
social culture since the era of the digital revolution.
However, the biggest risk any company takes in the
innovation process is whether or not the new idea or
product will work in the market. Moreover, innovative
companies have the advantage of an experienced team that
ensures that the process goes smoothly.
In this Editorial, we’ll explain how Innovation influences
the business processes successfully.
Solves complex issues: Interruptions in the business is
something that arises in the long run of the company. This
is because issues arise every now and then and companies
keep postponing the implementation of an innovation. So,
to see some progress in the working, innovation simplifies,
solves complex, big, and unachievable problems of the
organizations in a short span of time.
Increases efficiency and effectiveness: Innovation is the
core culture of all the leading companies. It increases the
outcomes of the companies and the companies with
innovation are more likely to be adopted in the real-world.
The innovation process gives an opportunity for companies
to work on weak areas. As a result, companies yield
positive outcomes.

Creative Thinking: In an innovative culture, employees
bring ideas, takes initiative to communicate goals and
objectives to the management. More specifically, the flow
between the management and employees are dealt with
more open-door policies. It is, however, important for larger
corporations to have a well-established and proven systems.
Forefront Leader: Once the leader works creatively and is
innovative, it sets an example for the rest of the team and it
becomes easy to motivate the rest to do the same. The
leader will need to task people to be innovative and ensure
that they follow through and have the freedom and power to
implement the ideas. This encourages the teammates in
their working as they can see the results of their efforts.
Teamwork: Innovation ensures that the leadership and the
rest of the staff work together in order to move the company
forward with concerted efforts towards innovation. The
employee’s strengths and weaknesses are set against those
of their team members to bring about efficiency and
maximum production.
Though there are risks involved with the innovation
process, the benefits are more. The innovation process is
dynamic and versatile which will positively influence all the
different parts of the industry. This is exactly where
Insights Success helps identifying companies that use
digital platforms, with its project The 10 Most Innovative
Companies of the Year 2019.

Helping Businesses Achieve Maximum
Business Beneﬁts and Value
SYMBIO
From leadership perspective, not
only do we strive to empower our
employees and inspire them to
become the best version of
themselves at work, we also
aspire to show our customers
what can be potentially achieved
with the help from Symbio's
innovative products and solutions.

SYMBIO's mission is to
empower and advance
your potential.

“

his dynamic business world has led to rapid
Tchanges in trends and customer choices and
experiences. Organizations are generously
striving for excellence to stay in today’s growing
competition. Taking this into consideration, a global
information technology company, Symbio was
incorporated with an impeccable track record of
designing, developing and delivering end-to-end digital
services to organizations across the globe, with its
headquarters in San Jose, California, and workforce in
North America, Europe and Asia. The company builds
innovative software products by taking a customer-
centric approach that embeds innovation and holistic
systems thinking to deliver exceptional products and
service experience. Its goal is to help organizations
achieve maximum business benefits and value by
providing them best-in-class consulting and services that
go beyond taking a problem-focused approach. As a
trusted partner and with a wide range of service
offerings, Symbio is committed to help its customers
succeed in today’s turbulent digital world. It firmly
believes in "You First", which is one of its core values.
The company finds its success in its customer’s success.
In an interview with Insights Success, Jeff Wu, the CEO
of Symbio, shares his key insights on how the company
is offering deep industry and digital expertise, flexibility,
and scalability on the terms of its customers and building
their business value in a digital world.
Below are the highlights of the interview:
What are the innovative product/solutions offered by
Symbio?
Our productization initiative is partly an outcome of our
innovation process, complemented by both rigorous
technology shortlisting for right choices,
emerging/disruptive or mainstream and injecting robust
process harness for product rollouts. Through this
’growth hacking’, products have been launched
successfully to the market. As an example, our
Performance Pro 360 coaching platform for BPO
operations has been licensed to 10,000+ users over the
past 12 months.
We just launched Symbio Smart Auto 2.0, aka Elysian, a
product in the automotive market as part of our overall
Symbio Smart Suite offerings. It is a feature-rich,
integrated infotainment solution for the automobile
industry and has been successfully adopted by some of
leading car manufactures, and recognized by CRN as
Top 30 Hot Products at CES 2018. Symbio Smart
Storage is another AI-enabled cloud solution combined
with Konecranes Agilon® to enable real-time stock and
warehouse operations. In addition to that, we do have a
few other products at various stages of development to
be launched in the near future, such as Smart Safety
which monitors and improves individual’s occupational
safety in hazardous working environments; Symbio
Smart Traffic which is a smart video census solution
which enables transportation planning and route
optimization based on people’s actual behaviour.
How does Symbio instigate innovation in its work
culture?
Smart and Boldness are two keywords of our core
values, encouraging people to dream big and act smart;
willing to take risks to be different, and never settle for
ordinary. This makes our culture to not just focus on
scoped service delivery but to understand the business
challenges that our customers face and accordingly
suggest technological and operational insight. For us the
culture of innovation is very important and a key to
success in today’s competitive business environment. We
have made innovation a part of our day-to-day work life.
Our employees feel challenged, engaged and valued
when they are encouraged to innovate. This has
positively impacted our employee performance and the
services we provide to our customers. We have
developed key objectives transforming our company to
meet the challenges of the future and have established
processes for learning conversations, idea management
and to gain significant improvement in creating and
capturing ideas. We very firmly believe that it’s our
people who delivers value to our customers and
innovation is something that’s an intrinsic aspect of it.
We strive to be a trusted partner with our customers vs.
being ’just a vendor’, and as a result is not uncommon to
Cover Story

get statements like this from our partners, in this case from CEO of Tamul Multimedia,
“Symbio has been a great innovative co-creation partner for us. Together with Symbio, we
made it possible to provide IVI solution at a reasonable cost to the conventional mid – low
end car audio segment.”
What are the challenges faced while providing innovative product/solutions and how is
Symbio serving to tackle them?
Turning an idea into a marketable end-product could be challenging if the business need and
product’s acceptance value is not assessed upfront. For us Innovation and discovery is a
continuous process. We follow a robust product development methodology that validates the
product’s viability based on end customer needs. While working with our customers, we
strive to understand what the end-user experiences and needs would be, which helps us focus
on the essentials and start the build process.
As a challenge, we understand that customer needs may change by the time our
products/solutions are ready for the market launch. That’s where our Design Sprint, a unique
innovation-driven process drawn from creative strategies, comes into play. Our agile
delivery processes and practices also help us to tackle market driven customer change needs.
Strategizing and answering fundamental questions upfront during the process allows us to
move to more tactical aspects of getting our product out to the market.
Leading the customer to our products, and motivating them to buy the product was/is
another challenge. We therefore do a canary release of the product to a smaller consumer
group with an objective to get key initial feedback that helps us to refine the product and the
marketing needs.
Continuous refinements to the product post the launch was another challenge. Our teams had
to remain vigilant and in continuous touch with our customers to understand end-user
feedback, needs and expectations. We remain focused and believe that continuous
improvements post launch is as important as early development of the product.
What is the dynamic factor that makes Symbio different from its competitors?
As part of VXI Global Solutions, a global leader in customer care centers and engagement
platforms, Symbio is able to offer a unique perspective on customer experiences, solutions
that effectively integrate customer insights with cloud and edge computing technologies.
We are a flat organization. We meet continuously within and across all levels of our
organization. Everyone is encouraged to provide feedback, good, and bad. Moreover, we
recognize both bottom-up and top-down on creative ideas and synergy. We have empowered
our team to address dynamic customer needs, and believe in continuous, informal
communications and feedback. It is not uncommon for an idea, comment or observation
from an engineer reaching any C-level executive in less than 24 hours, and sometimes in
real-time. As global CEO with teams spreading in three continents, I have to reply emails on
a 24 by 7 basis. I also schedule and update all my Teams online meetings by myself,

drastically reducing time to respond to any urgent
matters. There are no organizational impediments when
it comes to getting the message across.
The other differentiating aspect is our engagement model
with our customers. It is not limited to the scoped
delivery. Our technical team working on different
customer projects, brings in a systems thinking culture.
They take holistic approach to the system’s development,
incorporating all aspects of a system and its
environment. In addition to the technical aspects, our
team also focuses and learns their business processes,
helps identify value streams and prioritizes them for
development to generate maximum value-based delivery
outcomes. Our agile teams practice lean and help
customers reduce waste and optimize work cycles to
generate benefits. We are proud to say our customers
trust us as their business partner and we believe nothing
less than Excellence in service delivery.
What according to you could be the potential future
of Symbio and how does envision sustaining its
competency?
From technology perspective, I believe it’s going to be
about partnerships, integration capability and responding
to rapid change. Historically we have provided abundant
traditional IT outsourcing services; we also have been
helping our customers by successfully implementing
new technologies such as AI, Big Data, Cloud
Computing and other advanced solutions. In order to
continue on that path, we want to focus on having certain
partnerships in place to increase our ability to provide
very deep integration services on highly scalable, global,
distributed cloud/edge services. Additionally, automotive

sector is moving towards service-centric infrastructure,
and we must anticipate and prepare for that to keep our
products competitive. Responding to change means for
us to constantly evaluate software frameworks, testing
frameworks, open-source -solutions and seeing how they
fit and how they should be best used. That means
attracting and training new talent, and requires us to
focus on our human capital management with clear goals
over next few years. We continue to see ourselves going
forward as ’transformation’ specialists for our customers,
helping them in all the aspects – culture, lean thinking,
business-IT collaborative work environment, technology
and generating business value.
Testimonials from the Clientele
“China and India are both markets that offer great access
to talent. We ended up selecting Symbio as they had the
exact mix of skill sets and industry expertise that were
needed for the project and the team also was a good
cultural fit. Cost was also a factor in our decision-making
process. We found that China had comparable expertise,
but with a better pricing model”. -Marie Lee, CIO,
Interval International (now Marriott Vacations
Worldwide)
“Working with Symbio has enabled us to gain another
decisive competitive edge when providing services and
solutions to our customers, small to large. Performance
Pro 360 is not only a cutting-edge product, but it enables
us to show how flexible we are in providing rapid feature
development and deployment according to concrete
needs from the field.” -Manager, IT Special Projects &
Development, VXI

company’s technology professionals to think creatively
and focus on systems thinking which would ignite ideas
towards building products. At a leadership level, the

challenges, brainstorm those challenges with Symbio’s
technology professionals to determine the types of
solutions and products it needs to develop using the
latest technologies.

Callsign
Recognizing Users by Combining Deep Learning Insights
The digital world is based on a simple premise –
trust. When we’re interacting with a person or
entity – whether it’s a business or some other
transactional interface – we need to know with no
uncertainty they are who they say they are, doing what
they say they are, where they say they are. This is
exactly where Callsign helps.
It is an identity fraud, authorization & authentication
company that uses real time AI driven identity and
authentication solutions to help solve the challenges that
organizations face in getting their users on to &
interacting with their digital platforms.
Helping Organizations to Reduce Fraud
Callsign’s Intelligence Driven Authentication solutions
help organizations reduce fraud and meet license
compliance standards, while improving user experience
and productivity.
The company’s Intelligence Engine collects and analyzes
thousands of data points across device, location and
behavior to deliver a conﬁdence score based on how
likely it is that someone is who they say they are. If the
conﬁdence score is high, friction can be safely reduced –
and if it’s not, authentication or authorization requests
can be triggered – all in real-time.
Using the Decisioning module customer journeys can be
optimized to provide seamless customer experiences that
prioritize both security and privacy. These policies are
fully transparent and written in natural language making
the solution much easier to manage and utilize across
businesses. It also provides risk analysts with risk dials
to create real time step-ups or step-downs based on the
organization’s risk framework.
In all, the entire process is designed to determine what
kind of authentication journeys are best used in which
circumstances, based on what action is being performed,
by who, where, and how. Meaning swathes of user’s
aren’t isolated with either / or choices of biometrics or
additional password checks.
A Transformative Leader
Yogesh Patel is the CTO and Head of AI Research at
Callsign. He is an expert in the fraud and security space,
providing guidance to the industry and helps to shape
strategic thinking and planning at the CXO level. His
previous roles have included senior positions at
organizations such as Lloyds Banking Group, HSBC Plc
and NICE Actimize, where he was responsible for
A scalable “banking
grade” customer friendly,
identity fraud,
authentication &
authorization platform.

Yogesh Patel
CTO and Head of
AI Research
defining IT Strategy for Security, Fraud and Financial
Crime domain.
Callsign has designed its solution to encourage functions
to work together across customer experience, fraud,
security and risk/compliance; designing for ease of use,
collaboration and real-world needs (such as privacy).
One of the company’s key principles is privacy by design
and it employs several key privacy preserving
techniques. Unlike most vendors, Callsign only collects
data at the time of the interaction, and only uses the data
within that interaction. To make the solution work for all,
Callsign’s decisioning module adjusts in real time based
on the client's preference and capability for data
collection.
Being at the Forefront of Innovation
The work Callsign does require it to be at the forefront of
innovation- not just technologically, but within the sector
it works in. Given this, Callsign actively pursues ways in
which academia and the tech industry can collaborate, it
invests in PHD qualifications and works with research
advisory boards at the best educational establishments in
the UK. A key part of this includes giving young
graduates an opportunity to apply their cutting-edge
research to solve real world problems, as well as
providing opportunity for a full-time employment.
When Acceptability is the Focal Point
Unlike most vendors, Callsign puts the customer at the
heart of its solution. Not only has the organization
focused on the capability of the product, but also on the
applicability. Whilst capability will always help solve the
challenge being addressed, the approach that vendors
take to achieve this capability is just as important.
That’s why Callsign asks the important questions around
privacy, user experience (both for the customer and their
clients) and how it applies the use of data while building
its solutions. This helps Callsign’s customers, deliver
robust customer experiences that put theirs and their
client’s privacy first.
In The Pursuit of Tackling Challenges
For Callsign it’s very important to stay at the forefront of
technological advancements and the industries it helps
solve challenges for. Take the AI space, there’s currently
a lot of discussion around bias within the models. To
tackle this, Callsign believe it’s important to learn from
challenges and collaborate across industries,
governments, academia, influencers and geographies.
That is why Callsign is grateful to the World Economic
Forum for inducting the business into their Technology
Pioneer cohort, as it means Callsign can collaborate on
best practice frameworks to ensure it is taking the right
approaches when developing its solutions.

SafeLogic
An Innovative Market Leader in Encryption
S
afeLogic provides strong encryption products for
solutions in mobile, server, Cloud, appliance,
wearable, and IoT environments that are pursuing
compliance with strict regulatory requirements. In Insights
Success’ recent interview with Ray Potter, the CEO &
Co-Founder of SafeLogic, they discuss the customer
journey and real-world problems encountered on the path to
FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography.
Below are the highlights of the interview conducted
between Ray Potter and Insights Success:
Give a brief overview of the company, its uniqueness,
and its vision.
SafeLogic addresses an esoteric niche of the technology
world with an original innovation. The FIPS 140-2
validation for cryptography is notoriously difficult, but
required for any encryption used in the Public Sector,
including Federal agencies and the U.S. military, as well as
in regulated industries like finance and healthcare.
SafeLogic reinvented how this compliance certification is
achieved, by designing cryptographic modules with the
benchmark in mind, validating the modules, and
streamlining future validations for clients, by leveraging the
testing already completed. Providing the module,
CryptoComply, and service, RapidCert, in tandem saves
months of waiting, hundreds of hours of engineering,
paperwork & thousands of dollars!
What are the innovative products/solutions offered by
SafeLogic?
SafeLogic’s flagship product is CryptoComply, a FIPS 140-
2 validated encryption module designed for use in a variety
of environments. CryptoComply versions include drop-in
replacements for OpenSSL and Java use cases. SafeLogic’s
RapidCert service, only offered in tandem with
CryptoComply, delivers accelerated FIPS 140-2 validation
in the customer’s name, paving the way to Federal
deployment.
How does SafeLogic instigate innovation in its work
culture?
SafeLogic is a distributed team, adding contributors based
on their skillset and attributes, independent of their chosen
location. This prioritization of production over presence has
driven this small team to dominate our niche market. Hiring
the right people extends naturally into a philosophy of
encouraging our people to take real ownership of their
roles. Without micromanagement or having to punch a
clock, opportunities to try new strategies and tackle new
problems happen organically.
We continue
to innovate and expand
our solutions and we
look forward to providing
your encryption.
““““

Ray Potter
CEO & Co-founder
How do you strategize your game plans to tackle
competition in the market?
SafeLogic tries to anticipate customer needs and deliver
integrated solutions that nobody else can. Our goal is to
make it so simple and cost-effective for customers to
offload their validated crypto to us, that it is an obvious
choice for companies of all sizes.
What are the challenges faced while providing
innovative products/solutions and how is SafeLogic
serving to tackle them?
SafeLogic is working within the confines of compliance and
certification, particularly with NIST (the National Institute
of Standards and Technology) and their CMVP
(Cryptographic Module Validation Program) division.
There are evolving validation requirements in addition to
the changing landscape of cryptographic technology, so you
can imagine that it is challenging to stay on the cutting edge
while conforming to benchmarks established and enforced
by the government. SafeLogic continues to lead the
industry by aggressively solving issues as they arise,
whether it is a technical solution to a software issue,
applying patches for security vulnerabilities, or addressing
new compliance pitfalls, our customers rely on us to take
care of it, and we do.
What according to you could be the potential future of
SafeLogic and how does envision sustaining its
competency?
SafeLogic has a bright future as the Go-To source of
validated encryption for every tech vendor in the country!
We continue to scale, as we solve problems once and
deliver to many customers. It’s much more efficient than
each customer hiring their internal resources to solve the
same problem in parallel, so we are confident that we will
continue to grow.
Testimonials-
“We had to have FIPS 140-2 validation, and SafeLogic
made it easy!”- Stephen Kovac, VP of Global Government
& Head of Corporate Compliance, Zscaler
“We did it with SafeLogic’s encryption modules, which
enabled us to reduce the time, cost and complexity of
validating our solution for federal markets.”- Jason Kehl,
VP of Engineering, Vectra Networks
“We’re very pleased with how thorough and efficient
SafeLogic was with NIST to help us achieve this FIPS 140-2
certification milestone for SyncDog.”- Jonas Gyllensvaan,
CEO, SyncDog
About the Leader
Ray Potter is the CEO and Co-Founder of SafeLogic. Ray
brings over 15 years of security and compliance experience
to lead the strategy and direction of SafeLogic. Previously
he ran Apex Assurance Group, providing security and
compliance consulting, and grew top-line revenue at 47%
CAGR with a 75% net profit margin. At Apex, often
providing FIPS 140-2 consulting services, he found that
much of his advice and strategy could be productized. This
culmination of years of experience in the trenches became
CryptoComply, the flagship product of SafeLogic! On a
personal level, Ray loves playing guitar and flying
airplanes.

Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is the process
of starting a new business that
adds some value to the world
by solving some specific problems.
Entrepreneurship is the capacity and
willingness to develop, organize and
manage a business venture along with
any of its risks in order to make a
profit. Entrepreneurship combined with
land, labor, natural resources and
capital can make a profit. Those who
create these businesses are called
entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurial spirit is
characterized by innovation and risk
taking and is an essential part of a
nation’s ability to succeed in constantly
changing and increasingly competitive
global market place.
Entrepreneurship in its truest form is
all about identifying a gap in the
market and creating a product which
can fill that hole. Entrepreneurship is
not solely about making money- it is
also about changing and enriching the
lives for better. It is about improving
people’s lives through creation of
products or launching services that
makes the lives of people easy. If one’s
business does not add value to the lives
of people then it is unlikely to survive.
The business that makes nothing but
money can easily be considered as a
poor business.
Entrepreneurship is the act of being an
entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs act as
managers and oversee the launch and
growth of an enterprise. It is a process
by which either an individual or a team
identifies a business opportunity and
acquires and deploys the necessary
tools and resources required for its
utilization.
Entrepreneurship is all about being
ready to go beyond the comfort zone. It
is about defining success on one’s own
terms and achieving it by one’s own
process and methodology. It is also
about thinking outside the box or
thinking like there is no box. True
entrepreneurial spirit is about seeing
challenges as opportunities.
Entrepreneurs should be able to shake
off depression, laziness and should
jump into the flowing stream of hard
work in order to achieve their dream.
True Entrepreneurs understand that
they can’t be great at everything they
do, but they know that they can be
great at something. They focus on that
particular something in which they are
good at with laser like focus and they
are passionate to deliver the best
solutions in their chosen work.
Entrepreneurs create something new,
something different that solves some
problems or adds value to the world.
An entrepreneur is a person who is
willing and able to convert a new idea
or invention into a successful
innovation. Entrepreneurial journey is
not always so easy. As Elon Musk
Quotes “Being an entrepreneur is like
eating glass and staring into the abyss
of death.” Many people experience
entrepreneurial journey as a
rollercoaster ride filed with challenges
and opportunities; ups and downs.
Entrepreneurship is about perseverance
Entrepreneur Speak

through all such ups and downs. The
journey may be filled with crest and
troughs but the journey is worth taking.
Entrepreneurs understand that
seduction of safety is much more
dangerous than the perception of the
risk. Therefore they take calculated
risks based on market trends and
market estimation. Where common
people see the problems entrepreneurs
see the opportunities. Entrepreneurs
are driven to create solutions to those
problems. Entrepreneurs are not the
part of problems but entrepreneurs are
people who want to be part of the
solution to those problems.
Entrepreneurs are innately programme
to create solutions to the existing
problems.
Entrepreneurs roll up their sleeves
every day and work hard to create
solutions to the existing problems in
the world in order to make profit as
well as to enrich the lives of people.
They are in the game to make a
difference and impact in the lives of
people through offering solutions to
some of the biggest problems. Money
is secondary to them but making
valuable contribution and adding value
to the world is what they focus on.
They understand that money is just a
byproduct of serving as many people
as possible with full efficiency.
Entrepreneurs plan their work and
work their plan. Successful
entrepreneurship requires
entrepreneurs who take conscious,
systematic, logical and thoughtful
decisions. It is about thinking
deliberately and acting on the
conclusion of logical thought process.
Great entrepreneurs have the ability to
think decisively even in indecisive
environment also. Their conscience
and intuition helps them to come up
with some solutions that add glory to
their business. Successful
entrepreneurs are also very cautious of
making use of the latest technology for
creating more profitable solutions.
They know how to leverage everything
to create glorious business that adds
value to the larger portion of the world.
Entrepreneurs are here to make a
valuable contribution to the world
through their words and worthy
actions; they just don’t want to occupy
the space in the universe.
Entrepreneurs believe in making world
a better place by creating something
that customizes the lives of people for
better. Great entrepreneurs walk their
talk and talk their walk. Their lips and
lives both make difference in the lives
of people. They know that world
rewards those who press on.
Entrepreneurship is about paying the
price of dedication, commitment,
sacrifices, hard work and putting heart
and soul into the business to create
something different that makes lives of
people easier. The words and actions of
great entrepreneurs show that they
know where they are going and the
world has the habit of making room for
such people.
Entrepreneurship is about knowing the
way, going the way and showing the
way. Entrepreneurs lead by example.
They use all the resources they have to
make larger contribution to the world.
They think of changing the world
through their skills, abilities, talents
and making optimum utilization of all
the resources they have. Entrepreneurs
build a strong network of people in
their organization. The great
entrepreneurs understand that one’s
network determines one’s net worth.
Therefore they choose smart and
pragmatic people around them that are
having the ability to come up with
solutions to some of the toughest
problems. They are very cautious of
people they associate with.
Entrepreneurship is about building
bridges of success instead of creating
barriers to opportunity. It is about
having talented people on-board to
come up with great idea and to
implement that idea to make a tangible
difference in the lives of people.

The Next Big Thing
FintechThe Next Big Thing
Fintech
e are at a time in which technology advances at an incredible pace, unlike other generations, today’s society is
Waccompanying technology, allowing it to develop without fear of looking back. Unfortunately, regulation and
laws cannot advance at the same speed, and that is creating dangerous gaps that can destabilize the economy as
we know it today.
The crisis we have experienced during the last decade has shown the shame of the economic system, and its fragility in some
aspects, such as its banking dependence. The latter has allowed alternative investment to hatch, and with it many ﬁntech
tools, blockchain systems, tools based on peer to peer, etc ...
Francisco Mariscal
Co-founder & CEO

The problem we are experiencing is
that, with the mentality of breaking the
rules so as to write them again
(something that in principle should be
positive for society), we are forgetting
the basic rules on which our society is
based; data protection, right to privacy,
capital controls, or protection of
retailers, are basic rules that should not
be forgotten, because if we do so, we
are going back in time despite being in
the most advanced technological cycle
in history. And this can lead to a spiral
as much or more dangerous than the
crises we have experienced in recent
decades.
Do not mistake the passion necessary
to advance in a disruptive business,
with moving forward at any price, the
next decade will be marked by major
changes in many sectors: Fintech,
Insurtech, Foodtech, Legaltech, etc. As
we can see in their names, they all rely
on technology, in which in most of the
cases there is no regulation or
jurisprudence, so we must be cautious
with the rules on which we write,
because if we do it in the wrong way
we will be wasting the opportunity that
is being given to us.
A clear example of the above is that the
majority of cryptocurrencies, which as
we all know are written under
Blockchain technology. The
blockchain technology is very reliable,
but it is not infallible, and
unfortunately the states are not
prepared for its supervision and
control, so even though its survival and
development is clear, here the market
is not ready to hatch, and unfortunately
we are seeing how it advances at a
speed of madness, and possibly we will
see scary situations, because the vested
interests are very high, and possibly
some are not entirely licit.
Another example, are the famous
ICOs, in 2017 we have seen how the
volume under management with this
type of product has multiplied by 5 in
direct investment on the same type of
asset, I do not say that that is bad in
itself. But when we see that companies
that have not been able to finance
themselves by normal alternative
investments, manage not only to do it
by this method, but also obtain three
times the capital they needed, it looks
like we are facing a bubble, and that if
it is not controlled can only bring
problems to the system, and possibly
the ones that will pay for this will be
the usual ones, the retail investors. All
this will bring fear into the tools that
are being born now, and could end up
becoming a mere frustrated attempt,
instead of a complement of the future.
Both examples described above are
allowing us to generate inflation in
value and price, something which we
all know what it will bring us ... It is
clear that crises, like wars, generate
poverty, although in the long term
these allow the pillars upon which the
economies are built to be more solid,
and with that comes certain economic
evolution and improvement, at least to
date. Therefore, my insistence on
control, at least in what affects citizens,
the companies can take risks, but
without transferring them to people.
In general, the fintech sector has a huge
market for its development potential,
disintermediation and the creation of
value for the user will mark the next
decade. The new generations want
products that provide value and that do
not generate captivity of anything or
anyone. And this is my reflection, to
generate value to the user, it is
something more than just to provide a
friendly and easy to use tool, we must
protect the users and explain the risks
to be assumed. We are seeing how
many investment platforms sell high-
risk products to their users through
marketing tools. It is clear that we
could not live on a banking product
eternally. But what can not be allowed
is that the rules of protection for retail
investors are violated, because in doing
so we will be destroying a complement
of value to the traditional banking
product.
As a conclusion of all the above,
almost all the Fintech tools have a long
life ahead, the regulation is tracking
behind, but if we want it to last over
time, we must not forget the basic rules
of user protection in all its aspects.
Although there are no rules in most
cases we must use common sense,
which in many cases we are
demonstrating that it is the least
common of all the senses. Users are
our loudspeaker to change things, and
if we mistreat them, all they will say is
that we are another failed attempt at
evolution.

Mentor’s Standpoint

Ulatus
uring the 1960s, Pepsi’s slogan “Come alive
Dwith the Pepsi Generation” was translated into
Chinese as “Pepsi brings your ancestors back
from the grave.” Needless to say, the Chinese were
somewhat skeptical about this claim! When a brand
aspires to spread globally, translation is the only
solution, but poor, non-localized translation can cause
great harm as well as embarrassment. This is where
Localization by Ulatus comes into play. The company
don’t not only ensures flawless translation; it also adapts
to the cultural nuances of your target audience through
style, design, and imagery. This helps companies
overcome regional barriers and present their business to
local audiences in a way that those audiences can relate
to and identify with. The result is rapid engagement and
successful brand positioning for your company in an
unfamiliar domain.
Innovative Solutions Offered
Ulatus offers a wide range of services addressing several
requirements of researchers aspiring to reach a global
platform and organizations aiming to communicate with
their local audience and market in the most effective
way. The company’s solutions are not only innovative

make things faster and smarter, all the while ensuring
that human expertise still exists and still forms a major

Making a Mark in Challenges
Ulatus understands that competition in the industry is
immense. In the massive translation industry, which is
worth more than 40 billion dollars, making a mark and
surviving competition is extremely challenging. Today,
there are several translation companies worldwide. Each

set them apart in more ways than one. The company has
been granted the ISO 17100:2015 certification, which is

a recognition that only 1% of translation companies have
for high standards of quality and delivery. Further, in a
technology-driven, time-bound, time-intensive time like
today, sustaining quality while meeting rigorous time
requirements helps the company survive the competition.
The company’s technology-driven solutions, as well as
internal automated workflows, help maintain high
standards with a competitive turn-around-time. The

CRMCRM
Impacts of ArtiﬁcialIntelligence
has StartedResonating in
Industry

Cloud computing has changed
the face of customer
management by providing
every SMB’s an opportunity to unify
data and communication platform
without investing heavily on ‘on-
premise’ IT infrastructure and staff.
Now it’s the turn of Artificial
Intelligence (AI). Those (companies)
who adapt AI will remain in the race
and those who won’t simply lag behind
and eventually might lose in the longer
run.
Facets those are Attracting
Enterprises towards it
AI along with PA (Predictive Analysis)
have potential to make all aspects of
CRM better, from sentiment and intent
analysis to product recommendation,
upselling and lead scoring. Moreover,
the ability of AI powered tools to scale
the efforts of sales team by gleaning
useful patterns of data, finding
successful courses of action and taking
care of the bulk of the work for
addressing customers’ needs and
grievances plays a crucial role in
managing CRM operations in an
efficient way.
The efficient usage of AI and PA teach
organizations to do much better job in
terms of targeting potential customers
and decision makers by calculating
which personal and professional
attributes holds the maximum value.
The potential of creating a system of
continuous improvement for sales and
marketing teams is somewhat
attracting organization towards these
technology, since ‘sales is the fuel
which keeps the wheels of an
organization running.’
Landmark Solutions that are
showing Future Direction
Salesforce, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft and
Adobe are some of the Industry giants
those are investing heavily on AI and
even successfully developed many
landmark products and service based
on AI that have the potential to change
desired answer based on data gathered
from previous interactions and the
knowledgebase. Generally, this bot is
able to solve 55% of incidents and
when it does not have the answers or
senses a frustration or hostility, it
passes the baton to a human operator.
Economic Impact of AI in CRM
Leading market intelligence firm, IDC
(International Data Corporation) has
forecasted that AI enabled CRM
activities could increase global
business revenues by $1.1 trillion and
create eight lakh new jobs apart from
two million additional indirect and
induced jobs. The global market for AI
powered CRM is estimated to grow
from existing $7.9 billion to $46.3
billion by 2021. This huge revenue
boost will lead to increase productivity
and lower expenses due to automation.
According to report, the year 2018 will
prove to be a landmark year for AI
adoption as more than 40% companies
are ready to adopt AI in upcoming
future (may be within next two year).
IDC further estimated that 75% of
enterprises will include AI or machine
learning functionalities in at least one
of their business application. 46% of
the AI adopters report that more than
50% of their CRM operations get
executed through cloud. Therefore,
cloud vendors are expected to lead the
race of delivering AI solution to
customers.
With all these great advancements,
better functionalities and positive
economic projections, it would be fair
to conclude that AI and PA hold great
importance in deciding the future
course of action for CRM industry. But
only time will tell how deeply these
technologies will continue to disrupt
not just the CRM sector but other
businesses as whole. It will be
interesting to watch how this seismic

Unleashing the Hero in You to Find Success
W
hen we have the courage
to live the life we were
meant to live, we find
that we all have an inner hero
waiting to guide us on the pathway
to success. Mythical heroes endured
great challenges before gaining
treasure at their journey’s end.
As heroic business leaders, we must
embark upon our own painful
journeys of discovery to find
treasure in our career and company.
We are all navigators of life, learning
the lost art of finding our way which
our ancestors embedded in myths
for our modern use.
For 35 years, I have been invited
into thousands of troubled
corporations. I have seen that not
much changes unless the leader
survives a jaw dropping tragedy. He
or she can then be transformed by
loss into a resilient, successful, and
lovable business builder.
Not much changes in a company
unless such a crisis cracks the shell
of the CEO, Division EVP,
Department Head, or Team
Manager causing him or her to
embark on his own journey into
uncharted territory, where a small
miracle can happen and where the
leader’s True Self can emerge.
The boss’s emerging genuineness is
the precursor to the team’s
empowerment to reveal their own
True Selves – which grants them
permission to reveal the new True
Company.
The Power of Myth to Help Find
Success and Happiness
To survive the crises of the
marketplace your team must
traverse the same stages that
mythic heroes encountered. The
stages appear different because we
are in the modern times, but they
are the same stages.
If you’ve studied or read about
storytelling, you’ve probably heard
of the hero’s journey. If not, no
worry. If you’ve seen the Star Wars
Trilogy, Lion King, or the Wizard of
Oz you get the concept.
You already possess all you will need
to find the treasure you seek. This
article will help you unlock it!
How Does the Ancient Hero Myth
Apply to Our Career and Company?
Carl Jung the Swiss psychiatrist and
psychoanalyst taught that myths are
essential because they contain
common themes, archetypes, and
fears found in humans around the
globe. Jung discovered that the
hero’s journey is the overarching
idea taught in myths throughout
history.
Myths should not be read literally.
Embedded within them were road-
maps to help readers find what they
were really seeking. The myth of
alchemy – converting lead into gold
– was cover for the spiritual
happiness sought by metallurgists.
The Holy Grail sought by medieval
intellectuals wasn’t Jesus’ cup, but a
cover story for the real spiritual
work they sought to do, but were
afraid would run afoul of the
Church. The roadmaps in myths lead
us to tools we can use in our own
lives.
Caution. Many people in our society
have been taught to equate the
The

Leader

Tech Outlook

hero’s journey with the phrase follow
your bliss. They have been mislead.
Myths teach that only adventures to
the darkest most painful parts yield
the happiness you seek. To
undertake the hero’s journey,
prepare to do some hard work. Just
as body builders increase the load
on the body to build muscle, we
corporate-warriors increase the
stress load on our thinking to
increase spiritual muscle and
emotional intelligence.
Crises Can Release Our True Selves
When something very difﬁcult
confronts you – a personal or
business death or a promotion – you
can meet the challenge by learning
something painful. When you fail,
your outer shell is cracked open; your
true self can escape and rise like the
Phoenix. There are no limits to how
tall you can grow.
The Attraction of the Hero’s
Journey
Heroes across eras, cultures, and
geographies have undertaken daring
adventures. Their ancient journeys
provide signposts for our road-map.
When we follow that eternal map,
we can reset in alignment with the
path that is ours alone to walk,
serendipities increase, and doors
open.
The hero’s journey in myth, in your
company, or in your career leads
through the same three stages.
Stage 1 – The Call to Adventure
begins with the hero living a
comfortable life when something – a
business challenge, a personal
tragedy, or a wonderful opportunity
knocks you off your pedestal.
Answering the Call. When you ask
yourself for permission to take the
hero’s journey, you are opening up
to deep vulnerability. Your inner
hero is asking to receive guidance,
admitting that you need help from
the universe to become fully happy.
The strong will of many business
leaders has been the basis for their
success. We have learned to control
whatever we could in order to
survive. In a crisis we try to control
everything and everybody. Only
when we stop and admit that we
need to let go of the illusion of
power over the market and other
people can we move in a more
positive, productive, and rewarding
direction.
Stage 2 – Crossing the Threshold or
Entering the Abyss is a commitment
to change, a leaving behind of the
old. At a central turninag point, the
hero must face the death of the old
self. There is an essential epiphany –
to integrate our dark side and strip
out the big ego. Leaving behind
character defects, our inner hero
pivots toward a new life based on
more productive more lovable
character assets.
Stage 3 – Coming Home is when we
realize the whole point of the
journey is not moving away from the
world, but a richer more joyful
participation in it.
When you come home with your
shell shattered, you can lead
intentionally with new character
assets. To do this, the hero must
embrace a new life vow. For many,
this is a vow of love and service; to
esteem others. This new mode of
living is to show up ﬁercely positive
and kind.

About the Author

Let’s look at the battle of a
corporate warrior who learned to
surrender into full acceptance of his
crisis. He used his vulnerability to
enlist superior business experts who
had previously solved his problem.
These industry survival guides
taught his management team to
have the right adventures at the right
senior level to read the right
environmental clues to harvest new
sources of profit and happiness.
Selling to a $1.5 Billion Customer,
Vulnerability Gets the Deal Done
The new Vice President of a $7
billion group purchasing
cooperative managing $250 million
in revenue was told that to meet his
first year quota, he had to increase
sales to an important customer by
$75 million (or 20%).
This customer was purchasing 62%
of its supply chain spend off-
contract. The VP talked to his
predecessor, who had no clue why.
The VP met with each of the
customer’s CEOs at their respective
plant locations. He heard that his
predecessor had sold them tens of
millions of dollars in computers that
they didn’t request or need, and sold
directly to corporate headquarters,
which humiliated these local chiefs,
and killed pay raises and bonuses
usually due for them. The VP sat
side-by-side with these plant
executives while they vented their
pent-up resentment.
By being empathetic without
showing a lick of hubris, he
uncovered an unknown customer
wound inflicted on those plant
leaders, which prevented them from
buying more from his company.
During discussions with plant
management teams, the VP used the
universal shame-healing recipe of
letting these plant chiefs lead him
where they needed to go. His
vulnerability was the antidote to
their shame wound. He could feel it
in a room when the envelope of trust
was rebuilt, because these plant
executives opened up about how the
VP’s company could help them
reduce operating costs and improve
the technical performance of
products.
This customer increased its
purchasing by 20%; the VP’s team
met quota with an additional $75
million in sales.
The VP Attains the Holy Grail and
Becomes His Company’s Hero
The Chairman of the customer’s
Board bestowed on the VP the
honor of a seat at his monthly
planning table. The VP had earned
the right to move from salesman and
technical advisor, to trusted partner.
No longer was he “selling-in”
products; he had obtained the right
to “design-in” his products. This is
the Holy Grail sought by every sales
professional.
Be a Hero in Your Career
Successful leaders discover, as the
new VP did, that the senior leader’s
individuation – his pivot to leading
with his lovable, trustworthy
character assets – is the signpost for
the team’s individuation, which
directly paves the way for the
company’s individuation.
Surviving the Business Jungle is
Like Surviving the Amazon
Your team cannot think its way to a
better company. As I learned
traveling in the Amazon jungle, you
must relinquish control and allow
seasoned jungle guides to lead you
until you have learned enough to
lead jointly.
The mythic prototype is the same as
a good company prototype. Flush
hubris from the thinking that put
you in this crisis, then read
environmental clues that lead you to
success. Learn to travel like Marco
Polo before there were maps, reading
and adapting to the lay of the land;
because in your company, career
and personal life, there are no maps.
You Will Never Find Happiness
Until You Face the Truth
The treasure you will find on your
hero’s journey is the truth you’ve
avoided, your beauty!
The journey to success starts with
embracing crises as blessings.
Remember before saving the world,
every hero lost everything. Business
transformation begins with you.
Without new starts in nature, in
companies, and in careers – no
shells are cracked and no growth
happens. Myths teach that you can’t
think your way into a better life; you
have to live your way through new
adventures to better thinking to get
a better company.
New starts only happen if you
answer the call to adventure.
Start the adventure!
