I have been fortunate to work in many areas of the typical IT organization. Each discipline, from operations to application development, to management, have shaped my perspective on what makes a great IT culture. At the core, IT is a service to the rest of the organization and also one of it's most important strategic assets. The IT culture should foster open collaboration and communication to get the feedback necessary to provide support and drive digital transformation. Technology changes rapidly and being a life-long learner is a necessity for staying technologically relevant and developing an informed strategic view that can be communicated at all levels of the organization.
