Calculus of IT - Season 2 Episode 3 - The Modern IT Paradox - Part 2

Last week, we slammed on the brakes right in the middle of our deep dive into the seven modern IT paradoxes (something about a Kraken attack…it’s still all a blur to me). This week, we're back to finish what we started, and somehow, we discovered an eighth paradox along the way (because seven just wasn't paradoxical enough).
Join Nate and Mike as they tackle the remaining perspectives of modern IT leadership, including the three models of IT control (spoiler: neither total control nor complete chaos is the answer), the real cost of getting IT wrong (it's more than just your budget), and how to set up a modern balance that works for everyone. We also introduce our first archetype of the season: The Great Homogenization - or why everyone jumping on the same tech bandwagon might not be the best strategy for your company.
From exploring quantum decision-making (yes, really) to discovering why "sauce" is the new SaaS, we dive deep into the challenges of maintaining autonomy while juggling risk, innovation, and productivity. Plus, we tackle the eternal question: why deploying Linux might be simultaneously the best and worst idea ever.
Along the way, we'll share practical strategies for avoiding the homogenization trap and maintaining your strategic autonomy. We'll also try to explain why spamming isn't what it used to be (ask Gen Z).
We are on our way to solving this riddle…next week…stay tuned…we are tacking on “Identity as the new perimeter” and why "trust me, bro" might not be the best security strategy.
