Do the research, understand how each spoke in the tire actually impacts the other. That’s what we do a good job of, I think, at Dell, is understanding how security and zero trust impacts AI, which impacts user experience, which impacts the edge and multi-cloud environments, and then all the way into next generation US telco ecosystems. That is understanding not only what those products and solutions and outcomes are, but how they impact your customer. I’ve probably given the brief about 70 times in the last three or four months to almost every segment of customer, partner and community. It resonates when you know it.  It makes an impact."
