    Technology leadership insights #technologyleadership #peoplefirsttech #biotechinsights

    In this episode, Michael Saitow explains why technology success begins with people and clear goals. Please visit our website to get more information: https://swangroup.net/

    Many companies pick tools before defining what they want to build and why. They focus on automation and AI without aligning teams around a shared destination. Michael highlights common issues in biotech and manufacturing where misalignment across leadership stops progress.

    The conversation explains how leaders should define purpose before choosing software or AI solutions. You will learn why people and process matter more than tools alone, how to align cross-functional teams, and why organizational culture drives innovation.

    Specifically, this episode highlights the following themes:

    • How misalignment across leadership teams quietly derails technology initiatives
    • Why defining the “why” matters more than choosing the tool
    • The evolution from automation and machine learning to today’s AI umbrella
