iuvo, a Boston-based transformational IT consulting and managed services firm, has launched Edge of Excellence: Empowering People to Shape the Future, a new podcast designed to spark meaningful conversations about leadership, culture, technology's evolving role in business, and what it truly takes to build resilient, high-performing organizations. This initiative comes at a critical time when businesses across sectors face unprecedented challenges in adapting to technological change while maintaining effective leadership structures.
Hosted by Bryon Beilman, CEO and Co-Founder of iuvo, and Jess DeForge, Marketing Manager at iuvo, Edge of Excellence brings together experienced executives, leaders, and innovators to go beyond buzzwords and surface-level trends. Each episode explores the real, human side of leadership and how culture and strategy intersect with modern IT. The podcast's importance lies in addressing the fundamental shift occurring in how organizations approach technology implementation and leadership development.
"Technology doesn't drive results by itself, people do," said Bryon Beilman, CEO at iuvo. "This podcast is about the conversations that happen behind the scenes: how leaders think, adapt, and make decisions that move organizations forward. We want to create space for honest, practical dialogue about the challenges and opportunities leaders face today." This perspective highlights the growing recognition that successful digital transformation requires more than just technical implementation—it demands cultural and leadership evolution.
The podcast arrives at a pivotal moment as organizations across industries grapple with the rapid acceleration of cloud adoption, AI integration, security risk, talent retention, and the cultural shifts reshaping the workplace. These challenges have significant implications for business competitiveness, operational efficiency, and workforce stability. Companies that fail to adapt to these changes risk falling behind in an increasingly digital economy where technology capabilities directly impact market position and growth potential.
The debut episode, "The Future of IT: What Every Leader Should Know Heading Into 2026," is available now through multiple platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. In this first conversation, the iuvo team breaks down how IT has shifted from a support function to a strategic growth driver, what technology trends leaders should prioritize, how to align business vision with IT execution, and practical steps to build a future-ready organization.
"We created this podcast because we kept having conversations internally and with clients that felt too valuable to keep inside one room," said host Jess DeForge. "There is so much power in hearing how leaders navigate complexity, change, and growth, especially now. Edge of Excellence is a space to learn from one another." This collaborative approach reflects the growing need for shared knowledge in an environment where technological change outpaces traditional learning methods.
Edge of Excellence is designed for CEOs, CIOs, founders, managers, and anyone passionate about strong leadership, organizational culture, and the impact of technology on business. New episodes will be released bi-weekly, providing regular insights into navigating the complex intersection of technology and leadership. The podcast represents an important resource for organizations seeking to understand how to leverage technology while maintaining strong human-centered leadership practices in an era of rapid digital transformation.
