0221 - Local Impact, Global Reach with Joe Dowling
Our hosts today are Clare Mustapha and Akanksha Aravinda.
Welcome to today’s interview:
Today we’re talking with Joe Dowling, Chief Technology Officer at Sidero, a GlobalLogic Company.
· To start Joe, could you tell us a little about your career and introduce us to Sidero and Globallogic?
· What key lessons have you learned about managing outsourced/offshored delivery models? [e.g. Managing remote/offshore teams, what strategies have you found most effective for ensuring cohesive teamwork and productivity across different locations?]
· Can you talk about the impact that Sidero has had on Athlone, and maybe the value of setting up in a region as opposed to the capital?
· How has Sidero's acquisition by GlobalLogic changed things? [in terms of service offerings, access to new technologies, global reach, etc? What new opportunities has it created?]
· Can you share your thoughts on how Generative AI technologies are impacting software service firms? [opportunity, threat, same ‘ole]?
· Reflecting on your long experience working in software services and technology, what advice would you give to us as Digital Innovation students?
· Any final thoughts?
Thank you for finding the time to talk to us today.

Design Talk (dot IE)
Design Talk. A podcast for learning about the business of technology design and management. Listen to stories, panels, interviews and discussions about technology and design in-the-wild: the good, the beautiful, and the useful. Whether you've got one big idea, you think of yourself as an organisation designer, product designer, creator, or entrepreneur. Each episode offers a take on how people design, strategise, organise, and develop technology. We want to dig into the essence of design, discover the backstory to technologies, and unpack the design attitude. We started this podcast for you, because you are interested in tinkering, in making, and how ideas become 'things', and because we are all, in some way, involved in designing.Hosted on Acast.
