Today our Guest is Leilani Bloomquist, an independent consultant who focuses on digital transformation, product team leadership and innovation. Leilani is sort of a quadruple threat:

• She knows innovation
• She knows product development and management
• She knows how to guide change in an org
• And, she’s seen the good and bad of digital transformation

I really appreciated this talk. The clarity of Leilani’s thinking, the empathy and intelligence she brings to her work shouldn’t be surprising given all the work she’s done in education and healthcare. 

She’s also got unique insights into doing transformational product work in highly regulated industries like healthcare and financial services. I think you’ll find that she’s got a cool ability to help teams be in two places at once: The practical reality of now, and the optimistic opportunity of the future. 

And, as someone that has a love/hate relationship with jargon I really liked her points on mentorship, helping teams find a common language to cut through the fog of jargon.
