As a tech exec, how do you foster an environment that allows you to manage and ensure that business requirements and expectations are met effectively? Maturing the IT environment should include the following:
Foster a consistent culture across all teams.
Ensure connection points to allow teams to work together.
Encourage leaders to have a similar mindset.
Align people where their skills can be best used.
Retain your staff.
Ensure you have the right vendors and are using them appropriately.
Encourage buy vs. build.
Automate to help support a DevOps platform.
Maintain metrics to measure growth and reward.
Build to run by embedding tools, reusing code, and leveraging open source (as appropriate).
