New School IT
We laugh about the stories of how we discovered the unpredictable dynamics of corporate operations as we move beyond simplistic "machine" metaphors.
Collaborating with diverse co-hosts, we explore and analyze organizations as complex, living systems. Our show challenges the "people, process, technology" cliché to help leaders navigate the gap between ambition and operational reality in the era of AI, data-driven decisions, 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.
