The changing landscape in IT warrants a different approach on a number of issues. The IT landscape was already changing rapidly pre-COVID-19. But the pandemic has necessitated the need for flexible & robust systems in place, secure remote access to systems, creative policies and procedures in recruiting & retaining IT talent, right implementation methodology between waterfall, agile and dev-ops, and changes in many other aspects in IT. This keynote will leave you with several thought-provoking ideas and questions for consideration to 10X the output of your IT teams.
