Week 12 - Conclusion!!!

Hey There Bloggers!!

Our 3 month adventure is coming to an end with this final post!! I have enjoyed every minute and having the opportunity to put my thoughts (even if they were sometimes ramblings) down on paper to try to make sense with what I was learning, or had on my mind that particular day.

While we did hit on a bunch of definitions, there is one thing that I enjoyed the most and what I would take with me into my IT Professional future.  That is how to adopt a new technology into your organization.  To me that is the most important skill someone can have with new technologies popping up all over the place.  With Cloud, and even Quantum Computing in the not so distant future.  If your organization cannot adapt and overcome these technological challenges, then they are doomed to be irrelevant and could jeopardize the future of the company.

I feel that with my readings and my project, that I could intelligently tell a CEO of a company how they can maintain IT relevance and adopt a  new technology by systematically asking questions to see what they are looking to accomplish in the next 1, 5, or 10 years in the future.  Can I give them what they want sooner? Or will we have to let the technology mature for a year or so to find out the failures and successes of other companies within a similar industry.

Memorizing definitions is how some people gain knowledge, but having the abstract thinking to bring to the table to look for solutions that may not be so obvious is something that I enjoy doing. Much like a puzzle waiting to get put together.

I really do hope you all enjoyed reading what I learned and where I hope to be in the future.

Hopefully we meet again in a future class I take!!

Take care!
