Digital transformation is about taking the limits off your growth potential.

It was a pleasure sitting down with industry legend, Bob Rinaldi, CLFP of Rinaldi Advisory Services on his Leasing Avenues blog to discuss what “digital transformation” really means for business leaders—and how to make it work for your company.

This was such a fun conversation to just bust through the noise and uncover how equipment finance companies can REALLY get value from technology investment.

In the interview, I break down:

  • How to turn tech buzzwords into real business strategies
  • Why process design is just as important as the tech you choose
  • How forward-thinking companies are driving *real* results with digital transformation

Key Takeaways for Bold Innovators:

  1. Beyond the Buzzwords – What Digital Transformation Really Means
    It’s not just about adopting the latest technology. Deb explains how real transformation involves rethinking your entire business model to create sustainable value for your customers and your team.
  2. People First, Tech Second
    Innovation starts with empowering your people. A successful transformation hinges on creating a culture where everyone is engaged and motivated to contribute to new possibilities, not just upgrading systems.
  3. Becoming a Butterfly, Not just a Faster Caterpillar
    Incremental improvements aren’t always enough. Deb uses a powerful metaphor to illustrate that real transformation means becoming something entirely new. Sometimes you need a bold vision for a radically different future.
  4. The Growth Engine Formula
    Sustainable business growth isn’t just about financial planning. It’s about aligning your people, processes, and technology into a cohesive engine that drives innovation and resilience, while scaling your business.
  5. Visionary Leadership
    To lead in times of rapid change, you need more than technical skills – you need to foster an inclusive environment that embraces experimentation and values diverse perspectives. Deb shares strategies to build a resilient team and navigate organizational barriers effectively.
