Don’t Let Technical Debt Swamp Your Recovery!! | Sadin on Digital

The Big Themes: • Microsoft told 160,000 employees: You have the
permanent right to work from home. All the big tech companies are
starting to adapt because a lot of their workers can work from
anywhere. Huge implications for every type of business. • Apple
will evangelize 5G. The new wave of iPhones will help millions of
businesspeople grasp the significance and power of 5G without
having to understand the technical details behind this
extraordinary technology. • “Augmented” Reality becoming “Regular”
Reality? As more of this powerful new technology becomes
commonplace, it will expand our perception of what’s “real”—and it
will seem normal, not the stuff of sci-fi. Are you ready? • CXOs
who refuse to understand technology are doomed to fail. Doesn’t
matter how old you are or what your early experiences were with
IT—no CXO can expect to succeed unless she or he has a deep and
ongoing sense of how technology can drive new levels of business
value. The Big Quote: “When you put in your technology 10, 20, 30,
or 40 years ago you’ve stopped maintaining it.” This episode is
