What I know: the new job starts on Monday; the company is a non-profit; it is similar to my old job; this organization has a lot more money than the last non-profit I worked for; the organization has ignored its infrastructure for years.
My goals for this site: to document my activities; to seek advice and opinion; to build community; to help me and the company I work for.
My goal for the company: use technology to change it into a business that must think about alignment and ROI, not rebooting and dust-bunnies.
Unfortunately the company and I will most likely remain anonymous. This site is being set up independently and I doubt airing the organization’s dirty laundry would be sanctioned. No company has a pristine IT infrastructure but no one wants to talk about it — especially not a non-profit seeking funding.
Otherwise I do hope to be as frank as possible on this site. If that means opening myself up for criticism…well, that’s the only way I’m going to figure stuff out. I don’t know it all. I’m not sure I know anything. But I’m betting I’ll have something interesting to write about.
