[LIVE CHAT] Bi-Modal IT & Innovation

Tradition > BiModal > New Approach - this is the transition to be expected in Enterprise IT says @adamalthus

IMHO The entire business of IT needs to change to achieve true T2V improvement. Having a fast-lane and slow-lane isn't sustainable.

To what degree do political forces within the org block Bimodal IT, and ultimately innovation? Does it vary by company size? Industry? Geographic location?

its all political, its the whole reason why bimodal is needed in the first place

Brian Mirise

it's hugely political, but technical debt and lack of mode 2 capable systems of record conspire also

Isn't bimodal need to ensure innovate and drive change? This isn't necessarily politically motivated

Scott Brindamour

Are large companies more conservative, and thus less like to adopt bimodal IT?
