You are very welcome to the podcast Tom. 

Could you say a few words about yourself and kyndryl?

1.     For someone starting out could you sketch the learning journey to become a consultant?

3.     How or when do you start the process with a client?

4.     What do you say to the statement that “ideas and solutions are easy, that the real problem is finding real problems”?

5.     Should we separate the strategic from the technical aspects of a transformation?

6.     Does the start-up motto of "fail fast and fail forward" apply in a corporate environment?

7.     Do you have any advice on enabling shared understanding across and between teams? 

8.     Where do you see Data Analytics fitting in the consulting palette?

9.     On the idea that consulting is a team sport, could you share tips on enabling shared understandings across and between teams?
