I happened to listen to Naveen Manga's (CTO of Marriott) leadership advise few years back in a leadership development program. He is an inspirational leader with clarity on how to leverage technology to enable business. Today morning, I came across this interview, where he nicely summarized how he is transforming the hospitality industry with the power of technology and fostering culture of Innovation.  Few thoughts which resonated with me based on his interview. Most systems in the past were built with "built to last" mind set and a customer journey in mind. But the question is... a)     Do these systems have a last when technology is changing so fast?  and b)     How do we know that all our customers expect their journey to be the same? What if we give the power of choice to customers so that customers can carveout their own journey in a unique and personal way? Isn’t that more personal than walking them through an experience we design for them? & To do that we need the mind set of "built to change", which needs a strong digital core & Innovation DNA. I hope some of you find this interesting too.

A timely article with all the consolidation among hotel management companies we've seen over the last few years. In addition to size, evaluating the firm's ability to attract and retain quality property-level talent is a key consideration. The broader management company may have all the bells and whistles, but without the right General Manager and other key leaders in place, I've never seen a hotel fire on all cylinders. What defines the right leadership team often changes over time as the property changes hands, rebrands, renovates, etc. #hotelmanagement #lodging #assetmanagement #hospitality #leadership
