anywhere within the organization, so we look
for ways for our team members to voice their
opinions and provide their input on our social
impact agenda, on what they are passionate
about, and where they think Dell Technologies
should be focusing our initiatives. And then we
do a lot to communicate examples and celebrate
the kinds of work that people are doing
to support us.
Our leadership plays a critical role in not
only defining our priorities, but also aligning
their particular interests or leadership agendas
to those priorities. Many of our leaders recognize
that they have a platform, and that if they
model the commitments we are making at a
corporate level, it matters to their teams and
people will follow.
You mentioned having renewed optimism.
How do you define optimism in the digital
future?
Optimism underpins all innovation; it’s that
core belief that there is always more we can
do. And optimism sustains our belief that we
can influence the outcome—that technology
can solve problems, that people can solve
problems, and that regardless of how challenging
the problems are, there are innovations
and commitments we can make to solve
them. Optimism is the single greatest force in
achieving social impact. ■
