How do you win today without tripping over tomorrow? In this episode of the Jump Podcast, Dev Patnaik and Michelle Loret de Mola explore what it really means to balance the now and the next. They spotlight companies like Microsoft, CVS, Walmart, Delta, and Visa—each showing how strategic infrastructure investments and boring-but-brilliant moves can solve today’s challenges while setting up for long-term success. Whether it’s cloud platforms, healthcare pivots, or free in-flight Wi-Fi, the key is building capabilities that keep options open for an uncertain future.
