Relentless Incrementalism
Finding value in smaller, continuous wins.
By: Allen Smith | Chief Information Officer, Baker Tilly
Y ou might say I’m a little bit of a Chupacabra. I joined Baker Tilly in 2001. It was a long time ago; the organization was much smaller. Back then, we were a 400-person firm based in regional Wisconsin with one outside office in Bloomington, Minnesota. Today, things look a little different. We have over 6,300 employees working in seventy offices across seventeen time zones. At $1.2 billion in revenue, we’ve grown slightly since I first arrived on the scene as Chief Information Officer. I like to think I’ve worked for five different companies over the past twenty years, but they’re all called Baker Tilly! As the company evolved, I’ve had the opportunity to learn more and more without changing jobs. I’ve realized over my career that people – and Chief Information Officers, specifically – tend to focus too heavily on significant, sweeping, transformative changes. I’m here to suggest there’s a better approach.
