Back In The Saddle Again

Great to be back!  

I'm returning to cloud savvy after spending the past six years at EMC and Dell Technologies Dell EMC.  The time at Dell EMC was amazing due to the breath of offerings in fast changing markets.  I owe many debts of gratitude to the Dell EMC leaders, managers, and team members.  Each had many lessons to teach me helping me refine the future direction for cloud savvy.

Where to go from here?  

Over the past 15+ years, many technologies and methodologies have emerged based upon a new agile principle set that are very different and distinct from the preceding traditional principle set.  Comprehension of the new principles is difficult for leaders because of their success with the traditional principles.  When development projects run into trouble, their back-up styles often undermine their organizations' progress towards mastery of the new principles.

Equally, teams and individuals follow rituals without understanding the principles behind them.  When the rituals fail to deliver, instead of changing behaviors consistent with the new principles, they modify the ritual.  The modifications continue without clear benefit as results lag expectations.

I've decided to dedicate cloud savvy to the mission of helping executives view their situation with the lens of both the traditional and agile principle sets to help guide them forward to the right outcome for the business.  Understanding both principles sets provides the executives with the right framing to guide their teams forward.

What's next?

I'll be sharing new thoughts and insights here for everyone to read and review.  For those who want to share feedback, it will be welcomed.  For those who want more insight or help, they can reach out to me directly and we can discuss steps forward.
