In the era of Digital Transformation, IT departments face the delicate task of upholding their traditional purpose while shaping tomorrow’s value proposition. Navigating through uncertainty, ambiguity, and complexity requires non-tech-native organizations to foster flexibility and speed by undergoing a fundamental shift in their culture and capabilities.

• bulletproof architectures and trendy architectural patterns
• proficient functional silos and refreshing cross-functionality
• meticulous estimation and daring experimentation
• saving money and beating the speed of light
• dealing with tech debt on the verge of bankruptcy and driving innovation
• upskilling and fishing for new tech talent
