Wow what a fucking doozy this episode is. Some might even go so far to say that it is pernicious AF. We cover some AI stuff as usual and then dig right into Governance in Years 2 and 3 as a new IT Leader with an emphasis on 3 of the 5 primary governance domains: Project Prioritization, Development, and Infrastructure. This, my friends, is a special event. Mike and I are coming live via Twitch from some restaurant in Burlington, Massachusetts which didn't mind our presence too much. Here it is, Episode 24, in all of its glory. Bask in the perniciousness of our Governance.

For shits and giggles, I let Buzzsprout's GAI do the description for us this week. :-)

Discover the charm of IT land's peculiarities and the sharp wit of tech leadership as we embark on this episode's engaging narrative. We'll unravel the intricacies of integrating private large language models into enterprise ecosystems, and while grasping the strategic elements vital for business agility, we're also going to share a laugh over our quirky experiences, including tales from Waltham and the million-follower feline Sockington. Pull up a chair with us at the Painted Burro in Somerville Mass, and let's indulge in both the humorous and the profound dimensions of IT.

Strap in for an in-depth exploration of the dynamic AI platform landscape and its impact on your strategic business maneuvers. We'll dissect the importance of adaptability within the IT sphere, ensuring that you're not just keeping up but staying ahead of the curve. And when things get too serious, we lighten the mood with a twist, pondering over life's trivial annoyances and the odd chance of a zombie apocalypse disrupting our well-laid plans—because who says strategy can't be fun?

Wrapping up, we delve into the core of what makes a strong IT strategy: a blend of robust planning, flexibility, and the occasional spontaneous live streaming security hiccup. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on balancing rigidity with the necessity to pivot, and an understanding of how to craft a 'Plan on a Page' that aligns with your company's trajectory. Join us for this insightful yet amusing journey through the maze of strategic planning, spiced up with the latest AI buzz and a side of light banter.
