Bringing Back IT Culture
In twenty-five years of doing internet plumbing, consulting, information security, and setting standards in protocols and governance for our digital lives, we noticed that in today’s fast moving Internet Delivered world, non-technical leaders still think it’s okay to toss anything with a blinking light over the fence to “IT geeks” and walk away.
Geeks notice when leaders are afraid of technology. They talk about it at the water cooler and often seek other opportunities when their value hovers around first responder issues created by bad departmental behavior (especially tech workers who are just starting out their careers). We observed that culture failure may have to do with communications that are lost in translation between IT teams and executives. We also recognize that a glass wall of nerd corrals still exist culturally between IT workers and the rest of the “non tech” in most companies. Our observations also tells us that many tech workers in Enterprise IT are missing that all important connection to the rest of the leadership teams.
That’s why we started Usigo LLC. IT People are… well… people. They shine when managed and placed reasonably.
So, how do we help IT workers grow? How can we get them to embrace a culture where they will take off their propeller hats and talk business? More importantly, how do we get CEOs and other executive leaders to cascade critical business culture into the trenches of tech so they take pride owning their job so the job owns them?
Something told us that not only would tech run a lot better, but it may very well be more secure too, when you have people working who own the job so the job owns them.
Well, we have a hunch we know the answer to “better” with Entropoint’s™ Engagements by Usigo LLC. Call us at (650) 503-6582 and we will change the world through better tech culture and accountability.
Meet the Team
Although we would love to highlight our team today, the reality is that there are too many to list. Many of us are part of the teams who built the Internet in the 1990s. Some are “newbies” who are grateful that software development today no longer requires programming skills centered around assembly language (for the most part anyway).
