In this show, we discuss the urgent need to control complexity in your projects and buildouts.1. Consumers making data based decision making and wanting to make that next step to create a podio system that best fits them. 2. When thinking about a project timeline consumers need to be focused on what really matters to them, then we can adjust the small details. 3. There are two types of consumers when it comes to podio: the ones who have no idea what to do with their blank canvas or the ones want everything but could have a budget limitation. 4. Trying to steer our consumers the right way to make a tangible asset for their company. 5. Management vs. Users: we don't want to say no but sometimes there are limitations to the podio platform. 6. We like to build our users a basic platform to start out on before we get really complex integration involved. It starts to generate ideas and then the consumer realizes what they need and don't need within podio. Follow us on social media (@PodcastPodio) to stay
