Calculus of IT - Episode 36 - 10/23/24 - "The Individual Loss of Autonomy and its Effect on IT" - Part 1

The Calculus of IT

In Episode 36, Mike and I revisit a topic from Episodes 10, 12, and 13. In those episodes, we discussed how technological advances are erasing individual autonomy to the point that most people have only the barest shreds of autonomy left. We are revisiting this topic because we want to explore how this loss of individual autonomy is bleeding over into IT strategy, leadership, and decision-making. This is part 1 of a two-part series, and in Part 1, we explored three of six primary ideas:
1) Setting the tone and context again for the individual autonomy crisis
2) Discussing how that is now very closely mirroring a lot of what is happening in corporate IT
3) And due to this mirroring, what are the net effects on leadership and strategic decision-making?
It's a big lift, and we did our best to get into it. Next week, we will be exploring the other three pieces of this idea:
4) The Sovereignty paradox
5) How are we becoming conditioned towards strategic responses?
6) What does the future look like for this, and how might we slow it down?
