The IT Skeptic's RealIT Radio: Recent Episodes
Rob England (The IT Skeptic)
A podcast by the IT Skeptic. RealIT Radio applies a cold firehose of reality to the overheated IT industry, especially around IT management, ITSM, ITIL, DevOps, Agile...
(21 minutes) Don't confuse your personal digital experience with business. Your personal experience of the worlds of technology toys, tech bling, and personal computing do not tell us about how the world of business will change in response to technology.
When we talk about the impact of technology on business can we please talk about business. What technology does to your personal life or your new little company or some tablet-maker is simply not illuminating when we consider large complex established organisations - in realIT.
