New School IT
We get candid and laugh about how we discovered the predictable unpredictability of corporate dynamics.
Collaborating with diverse co-hosts and guests, we replace the "people, process, technology" cliché by exploring organizations as Complex Adaptive Systems to help you navigate the gap between ambition and operational reality in the era of AI, data-driven transformation, and digital operations.
New School IT® is affiliated with SODA™, the Systemic Of Disciplined Adaptability. SODA is the operations framework for companies to cultivate and strengthen the needed discipline and adaptability to thrive in the age of AI, data-driven operations, and digital markets.
