Do
I
hear
you
say,
talking
about
the
ex)nc)on
of
enterprise
IT
is
just
marke)ng!
So
how
many
of
you
would
say
their
IT
environment
at
home
is
beKer
that
the
one
they
have
to
use
in
the
office?

3. How
come
none
of
the
new
giants
are
using
enterprise
standards
in
their
IT?

4. And
why
are
the
classics
figh)ng
hard
to
change
the
way
they
are
doing
things?

40
Companies

we
too
big
to
swim?

7. All
major
cultures
appreciate
change:

rhei

8. So…
What
is
killing
you?
And
how
can
you
counter
that?

9. Innova)on
Execu)on
You
should
focus
on
innova)on
not
just
execu)on!

10. Make
failure
part
of
your
corporate
culture!

11. Stop
ra)onalizing
bad
behavior,
start
doing
what
your
customers
want!

12. Or
you
have
to
be
willing
to
disappear
for
your
belief!

13. Evolu)on
is
about
NEW
THING
!

14. But…
Good
new
things
need
input
from
experienced
people

15. Drive
change!
Stop

it!!!
