Evan is a Digital Transformation (DX) expert in Japan helping\u00a0 businesses adopt new technologies and improve productivity via AI, automation, eCommerce, and retail logistics. He has worked both agency-side and vendor-side selling to Japan\u2019s Fortune 500, co-founded several startups, and is a Senior Advisor to several others. Currently he is the Country Manager for Dynamic Yield, Board Director at TELL, and Senior Advisor at Fast Track Asia.<br \/><br \/>If you haven&#8217;t yet had the pleasure of hearing Evan&#8217;s first episode, I&#8217;d recommend you do. As to understand where we are and where we are going, which is the focus of this episode, it&#8217;s valuable to understand the factors that brought us here in the first place. For example; Evan&#8217;s theory that Japan&#8217;s reluctance to move completely to the cloud has more to do with the fear of natural disasters than immaturity of digital transformation. In this episode we dive into Japan&#8217;s digital scorecard, the pandemic and other accelerators to change, the 2025 Digital cliff and Evan&#8217;s personal predictions about what&#8217;s ahead. I love this episode because its full of the kind of actionable ideas and information that get you focused and excited on a challenge, not confused overwhelmed.<br \/><br \/>Also, the day this episode is live is Evan&#8217;s birthday so feel free to head over to LinkedIn and say happy birthday!<br \/><br \/>I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and don\u2019t forget to share your feedback with me on your favorite social platform.<br \/><br \/>Let&#8217;s begin!<br \/><br \/>\ud83d\udca1 Key Conversations\u00a0<br \/><b>02:55<\/b>\u00a0 |\u00a0 Intro to Evan and why DX is important to him personally<br \/><b>07:53\u00a0 |\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0Japan\u2019s Digital Scorecard<br \/><b>14:05\u00a0 |<\/b>\u00a0 If the benefit of investment is obvious, what&#8217;s the hold up?<br \/><b>27:55\u00a0 |<\/b>\u00a0 Pandemic and other accelerators<br \/><b>52:30\u00a0 |<\/b>\u00a0 Recommendations and projections to jump the 2025 &#8220;Digital Cliff&#8221;<br \/><b>1:20:35\u00a0 |<\/b>\u00a0 The role Design Thinking may play<br \/><br \/>Here are some places for you to learn more about Evan and his work:<br \/><b>Evan&#8217;s first Business Karaoke episode |<\/b>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/1009438\/5248537\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/1009438\/5248537<\/a><br \/><b>LinkedIn |<\/b>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/evanburkosky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/evanburkosky\/<\/a><\/p><p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was the second time I was honored to be interviewed by Brittany Arthur on the Business Karaoke Podcast In this episode, we have the rare pleasure of welcoming back a guest and its all the more special as its close friend of the Business Karaoke Podcast, Evan Burkosky.
