Value Stories: Understanding the DNA of Modern Success
What success looks like has changed. Multiple generations of IT managers have marinated in a now anachronistic mindset which defined IT leadership success as delivering high-cost, high-complexity, and high-maintenance bloatware on-time, on-budget, and at-specification. High performance organizations are in the midst of exfoliating a leadership cohort adept at answering questions but not so great at knowing how to ask them. They can fulfill goals, but don’t know how to set them. They think about how to get things done, but not whether they’re worth doing in the first place.
Modern success requires finding a new direction, not simply putting yourself at the front of the herd that’s heading toward the cliff. A select subset of leaders understands the fundamental rate-limiting factor in IT value creation is not what technology you can buy or how efficiently you deploy what you bought but the purpose to which you put the cornucopia of technology possibilities available today.
The enormous increase in raw processing power generated by semiconductors; the mind-boggling improvement in the price of storage [from $80,000 per petabyte in 2010 to $4 per petabyte in 2020]; and the faster-than-speed of light decline in bandwidth cost – impressive accomplishments though they might be, are simply an economic potential. It becomes important only if this potential is utilized.
Join a group of Value Artists who will share their stories of how they envisioned a new palette of possibilities, framed a new set of behaviors and sculpted impressive outcomes.
