Coming in as an outsider, Workman says she had the advantage of looking at team projects through an objective lens, while still maintaining her extensive experience with the company she knows so well.

Workman shares some of her problem-solving strategies and opinions on the future of work, technology, and enterprise, as well as discussing the advantages of “diversity of thought” when joining a department as an outsider.
