EDITOR’S NOTE

The 10 Most Successful Business Leaders Revamping the Future. The resilience and determination of employees in today’s time help companies keep their people performing at their best while work processes shift. While everyone was working from home, employees learnt the art of multitasking and balancing work-life and household chores. However, with offices resuming work and employees returning to work, there is an essential need for leadership evolution. Business leaders worldwide are trying to find the best-suited solutions for their companies, people, and ecosystems. Just like our history’s empires, businesses rise and fall as the times change. Likewise, some remain at the top for ages, while others fizzle out within a couple of years. The key to long-term sustained success is through great leadership. A great business leader can motivate others, have a clear vision others can believe in and can lead innovation within an organization. When companies have great leaders taking the reins, investors, consumers, and employees are all going to want to buy in. To be a great Mentor, you also need to be a great leader, and many of the world’s most well-known companies have some seriously smart people at the helm. As the ongoing pandemic continues to make global news headlines, business leaders who want to stay ahead and remain successful are looking for stable footholds in this time of uncertainty. With that in mind, Prime View presents “The 10 Most Successful Business Leaders Revamping the Future”, celebrating leaders who are doing their best to innovate and technologically evolve the industry. Do share your thoughts with us. Prime View Magazine editor@primeview.co

THE SECRET OF PHENOMENAL SUCCESS- AIMING THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY

CARL’S THOUGHTS ON ESTABLISHING A MORE BALANCED AND EQUAL INDUSTRY

QI's strategic planning is a tool that aims to guide the actions of the agency over the years in order to make it even more relevant, unifying and effective, while building on its strengths. For example, in the context of the last strategic planning, in addition to a comparative study with local and international actors and an analysis of partners' priorities, internal and external consultations were carried out. In total, 140 people from the public and private sectors met to share their visions, goals and needs to ensure the success of the region. Taking into account the issues raised by companies, as well as the current strengths and weaknesses of the agency, Québec International has strengthened its mission and adopted a renewed vision.

There is always room for improvement. It is important to surround yourself well and to be able to count on your employees. Respect and trust, ethics and transparency, fairness, etc. are elements that the entrepreneur cannot ignore. The last year has taught several business leaders that teleworking is productive and beneficial for the quality of life of staff. You have to be at the forefront and not hesitate to stay ahead of trends. Going from idea to action and innovating is easier when we work together. Having a good network to support us is essential.

The Business Leader Endeavouring to Address the Challenge of Plastic Waste with The ToPo® Company

illiam Johnson, a living example of classic entrepreneurial spirit that pivoted a common man to start a unique venture, The ToPo® Company to resolve one of the serious concerns of today’s generation- plastic waste. It was back in 2011 when Dr Johnson started the journey towards converting plastic bottle caps into a collectable toy.

The annual consumption of plastic bottles is set to top two trillion by 2021, according to a Guardian report from 2017, a large percentage of which will end up in the sea or landfill. British inventor William Johnson has found an ingenious solution for avoiding plastic waste: ToPo. The single-use plastic item is the Beverage Industry’s Achilles Heel and a major concern of the Plastic Industry and Consumer World today. ToPo® Is designed to help answer this serious concern by converting a Single-Use plastic closure into a continual-use, collectable and educational construction toy that can eventually be recycled. Therefore ToPo® is a screw-top closure that has a second life as a collectable toy, not to be discarded. Each bottle cap, which can be either circular or square, has two sets of male and female connectors. These link together to make 2D models and can snap together vertically to also make 3D models. The toy helps to educate children and make them aware of the environment and thus Stop Plastic Waste – sToPollution® - which is causing so much current and potential damage. Its inventor, Dr William Johnson, has over 100 patents, including the World’s first trainer with an integrated pedometer and film coatings for visual displays. "We created a plastic bottle screw top that converts, after its original use, into a 'collectable' toy that is both fun and educational, in which children can construct, (Lego-like) any number of different structures, and play both word games and numerical puzzles or make

messages and thus stopping the “throwing away” element. The ToPos are fully recyclable,"Dr Johnson explains. ToPo® has granted Patents both in the USA and the EU.

More About the Visionary An accomplished professional, Willy Johnson is an internationally acclaimed inventor of extraordinary vision who throughout his life has toiled to fashion dreams into reality. He embodies that persistent, inquisitive spirit that animated his Victorian predecessors, and like them, he fizzes with ideas that seem to grow in number as he grows older. William Johnson is a visionary with self-belief, a positive mindset, and how to make things work attitude, admirable work ethic. His brainchild ToPo® is rooted in the inner desire to do more and more, a classic trait of an entrepreneur. No doubt in the few moments that he has been listening to this citation he has already thought of a way to replace the Public Orator with an articulate computer, although the market for that may be somewhat limited! Inventing, of course, is a serious business, despite the stereotypical image of the bumbling inventor with which we are all familiar. We can all produce our lists of the discoveries and innovations that have changed and improved the quality of our lives. But William Johnson would be the first to admit that the image contains at least a grain of truth for he is a confessed maverick and misfit, eccentric and unconventional. Travelling with him along the road to discovery is not for the faint-hearted. He knows that dissatisfaction is important to the inventor: there must be grit in the oyster, a constant niggling desire to improve things, and a stubborn refusal to accept ’no’ for an answer. William Johnson has heard that answer many times from potential backers and has still come back for more, pressing on 18

The Solution Architect, Empowering Businesses with Simatree Magnificently

esley Flores is a man of many hats; enjoying the status of a recognized business transformation and solutions leader, a visionary IT professional, a solution architect, a renowned international speaker, blog writer, business management consultant, and an ardent leader behind one of the renowned IT, Data, & Analytics solution company, Simatree. Simatree is a specialized business and technology professional services firm. They target solutions for the clients that meet their most strategic objectives with a focus on insights from data. They support advanced data solutions and digital transformation programs across a range of industries.

Owing to his invaluable experiences, Wes Flores is successfully going on the path of being a solution architect; solutions that involve strategy, business processes, systems, and data architecture. With 25 years of experience across the end-to-end information technology ecosystem with deep expertise in the data & analytics field, Wesley has a proven track record and a passion for setting up high-performance teams and implementing world-class information management platforms. He has acted in IT leadership roles as CTO to support CIO's success through driving mature and lasting IT strategies. He has the ability to effectively communicate key strategies, gain stakeholder alignment, and drive user adoption in support of key technology and organizational goals. “I learned how to design and build software very early in my career, which helped me to understand how databases and applications can do amazing things. My path continued from building software to building out large-scale enterprise data platforms, which opened a larger world of technology. Yet, the common goal of all these implementations was to meet the needs of the user and to make the process fundamentally better. To this

day, I still enjoy finding solutions that others may miss or recommending the approaches that bring superior results,” states Wesley.

What Factors influenced Wes Flores to be a Speaker? In the words of Wes Flores- he believes understanding the “people, process, and technology” paradigm is key to solving problems holistically. It has led him to focus on the full life cycle of application and data development projects. This allows him to get a deeper understanding of the purpose of a project and how to achieve an optimal solution for it. Data is the common thread that ties everything together, which has also fascinated him. He has often thought about data. If he sees a problem, he has already started to envision the data model needed to solve it. He has been passionate about solving problems because he has always enjoyed helping others. He sees activities such as writing or speaking enable him to help in broader forums.

Client Strategies & Ethics The clientele of Simatree includes the Public Sector, Insurance, Telcom, Healthcare, and Retail to name a few. One of the early clients once said to Wes Flores, “the proof is in the pudding”. For some reason, this has always resonated with him. He believes that following best practices are important, but without delivery, they are only good ideas. They build trust through execution. One thing to watch out for is a potential expectation gap with clients. Effective communication is the key to managing the expectations of clients upfront.

My faith has helped to keep me grounded in keeping the right priorities at work and home. I also believe in the value of building amazing teams to empower them, finding the right talent, and supporting their growth. Having an amazing team does not happen easily and it has been my privilege to have amazing teams over the years. My teams have had an amazing impact on me personally and on the program successes we accomplished together.”

Wesley Flores | Managing Partner

Simatree

Hurdles on the Way Growing is hard when you launch a start-up, especially for a business that relies heavily on a proven track record such as consulting. Simatree’s partners had extensive networks within certain industries and areas of expertise that allowed them to gain opportunities based upon their personal brand. From this point, Wes’s goal was to establish a new reputation for the company across industries. Wes and the whole team have been excited about the successes they have been able to bring to their clients thus far and the new ones on the horizon.

The Driving Force While talking about his driving force, Wes Flores shared, “I think that we all need help to get to where we are today. We can rarely take credit for accomplishment all on our own. I do feel that my personal faith and my teams have had the most impact on my career success.

When asking Wes Flores about a more balanced and equal industry, he shared, “We can do a lot every single day to keep our business practices balanced and equal. In fact, I think this carries into all aspects of running our business, serving our clients, and building empowered teams. I have been fortunate to have Business Partners that strive to ensure we do not carry biases into the workplace. This is something that is frankly infectious, so as business leaders, we should understand that we need to lead by example. I see the positive effects of this tone that is set by our leadership and I am very proud of it.

Each individual in your association has intrinsic and learned administration aptitudes. Administrators and building principals must have an intense familiarity with every individual’s abilities and use them for the advantage of the association. On the off chance that you comprehend what institutional boundaries are set up that demonstration against organizing these endeavors you will be more fruitful in separating them.

A Day in Paul Wordley’s Life While talking about his daily routine, Mr Wordley said, “When working I spend a couple of hours on emails and conference calls, the timing of which depends on where in the world the client is. Then I will catch up with colleagues with whom I am working on matters. Usually, I will find some time to work on a particular matter or piece of work. My downtime is spent reading and exercising.”
