“There's increasing consciousness that a "command and control" style of management which one associates with a male model isn't necessarily what works anymore, especially with small to medium sized companies. There's increasing evidence that a more flexible management style, where responsibility is distributed up and down the line, is what works best. And that kind of management style is one that will allow individual workers more flexibility - men and women.” MenKindIndividualLinesConsciousnessResponsibilityCompanyStyleModelsEvidenceMen And WomenManagementWorkersMalesCommandMediumsAssociatesFlexibilityFlexibleUp And DownCommand And Control Author:Betty Friedan

“I don't see what the alternative to risk management is. If it's just getting rid of the models and instead using the smart people who can figure it out? How do you train them?

“A technology becomes truly disruptive when it drives the marginal cost of something that used to be scarce and expensive to approach zero. Thus, it used to be to deploy software at scale, you had to fund a data center, buy a set of servers, storage, and networking gear, build an in-house IT management capability, and buy an expensive stack of enabling software before you could even get started. Now you can get all that from Amazon or Microsoft on a pay-as-you-grow model.” UsedHouseGrowsPayTechnologyCostApproachModelsManagementScalesUsed To BeDataExpensiveFundZeroSoftwareCapabilityNetworkingGearsMicrosoftScarceAmazonEnablingStorageDisruptiveServerData Centers Author:Geoffrey Moore
