Dr. Hectic and Mr. Hype - surviving the economic darwinism
This is a slidedeck about a topic I already talk about for a while: Every company is affected by the economic darwinism, i.e. the companies that respond best to change will survive. And the IT is not a bland cost center, it is the neural system of every company. No IT, no business! Combining those two observations it becomes obvious that the responsiveness of the IT about new business features is a crucial survival factor in the long run - we are no longer talking about months or years for new business features, but about weeks or days. In this slide deck I explain why the approaches most IT departments are not helping (sometimes even being counter-productive) and which building blocks you have to implement in order to survive the economic darwinism. Some of the slides badly miss the audio track but the core ideas should become clear.
