Have you guerilla’d yet. Are you dressed for success and does your EBITDA translate fluently into your Enterprise Multiple?

It really is time to be audacious and to step outside the comfortable norm and practices in the uncertain world that surrounds us. That doesn’t mean foregoing the business as usual activities that keep your infrastructure robust and resilient, but it does mean taking that platform and leveraging the hell out of it in new and cunning ways to the benefit of your organisation.

To do that requires adapting the technical nous which is a given in any IT professional and translating it, as a matter of urgency, into an ‘epitechnology’ that transcends the usual and coalesces into a meld of business and technology; which in true Lamarckian form ensures survival (and success) through acquired characteristics. We really don’t have time for a Darwinian evolution of our capabilities. We need to adapt and evolve today, now, this minute.

To become an epitechnologist ….. ’ ya gotta guerrilla’. Remember, intelligence-led mobility, speed of effective response to changing situations, and the ability to blend in with the environment.

Don’t become a Dodo …. Become a Do Do….!! (that hurt me more to say than it will hurt you to read it).

To close, a lesson. In war, successful commanders aren’t the ones who just understood the rules but those who through their genius create them.
