*THIS* was my poop slide at #TDX24. 😆
OK not really.
All I did was adding the “AI’ed” bit on top of the CRM in the doodle I drew in 2021 but boy, is it still relevant!
It’s another depiction of #GIGO – Garbage In Garbage Out.
While the demo during the keynote showing the slick Turtle Bay AI-assisted operations look so sexy, I hope no one underestimates the amount of work needed to get to that point in terms of data quality and optimal code quality.
It’s easy to sell sexy, but the hard graft and cost *cough* “investment” in terms of hard cash and resources to ready your org for full AI implementation is rarely mentioned.
Because not sexy.
Because hard.
Because dull.
😒
Who wants to deal with all that?
But deal we must (I’m sure this is bad grammar but whatevs 😛) if we want to reap the benefits of a well designed business critical software that will propel the organisation forward.
The message since the beginning of the IT revolution still stands.
Pay attention to the hard fundamentals:
🍩 Good data hygiene
🍩 Well-Architected fundamentals
🍩 Clean and streamlined processed
🍩 Elegant code and flows
As well as the human side of things
🍩 Initiate change from grassroots
🍩 Invest in education and training
🍩 Focus on user adoption
🍩 Turn sceptics into champions
None of the fundamentals have changed throughout all the different waves of tech advancement.
It’s easy to chase the sexy and shiny and to ignore the dull and boring.
I believe that’s the reason why so many projects fail to achieve business benefits.
What do you think?

(Lucky thing the poop 💩 in my diagram didn’t get me into trouble and I hope I’m allowed back in the future! 😁)
