Speed, Flexibility, Helicopter-Installed Mainframes | Sadin on Digital

The Big Themes: • The new, new normal – and the new abnormal. How
many meetings have we had where somebody had a cat sitting on their
head? • CIOs must drive speed, flexibility and innovation across
their companies—Sense and Adapt at warp speed! • REI just built a
huge new headquarters – and they’re never going to occupy it. The
notion of work, is changing and we have to get used to it. • Not so
long ago, a mainframe was lowered by a helicopter into the 35th
Floor of an NYC bank building. At the time, it was pretty much
normal. Now you have Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle to do it
for you. • Wayne Sadin is #2 on the Rise Global “IT Leader Power
100” list. “When you outgrow your IT strategy, call me!” The Big
Quote: “I am a believer in science. I’m a believer in engineering.
I believe in the human spirit.” This episode is brought to you by
