Trends That Really Matter

Welcome to a sneak peek of what will be driving your to-do list in 2023. This issue encapsulates the fascinating trends and realities that will shape network transformation in 2023 and beyond. Don’t worry, these trends are not empty marketing lingo about the gunk we get sucked into from the myriad of social media feeds we try not to spend our time on each day.

"Don’t let 2023 start with lame resolutions that never stick. Commit to four things instead. Read. Share. Inspire. Motivate. Make this year an investment in what really matters for you AND your team—each other."

This content will help you be clear about WHY you do what you do. Its context will help your team understand how they fit in the grand scheme of your company’s objectives to succeed in the fourth Industrial Revolution. (No. I’m not being dramatic or joking. We’re all in this “Revolution” thing together so it’s time to remind ourselves WHY we do what we do—outside of the paycheck of course.)

Kick off 2023 by committing to invest 10 minutes each morning to read about your future BEFORE you get stuck in the day-to-day task list that taunts you. As you whet your appetite with all the great stuff going on in your professional world, pass on an article or two that piques your interest to your fellow team members. You never know, it could spark ingenuity, creative problem-solving and professional mojo that drives your team to meet those 2023 goals you put in writing to your manager.

Speaking of sparking something. We’re on a mission to help you and your teams celebrate THEIR collective accomplishments. In March, the ISE brand is launching a new program to honor the amazing efforts of every person on your team who makes network transformation magic happen!

The ISE Network Innovators Awards open in March so it’s time to get your submission team organized. Take this month to invite your team to decide which unique product, technology and/or educational offering will make a marked difference to our industry in 2023. Start those bi-weekly touch base calls so everyone gets jazzed to dominate in their respective category. That’s the intentional way to kick off this awards season with a bang!

Our well-respected panel of judges will be ready and waiting to review your applications the minute they are submitted. (Believe it or not, they’re already asking for the best seats at our inaugural Network Innovators Awards Breakfast at ISE EXPO 2023.)

Don’t let 2023 start with lame resolutions that never stick. Commit to four things instead. Read. Share. Inspire. Motivate. Make this year an investment in what really matters for you AND your team—each other.
