Got a notification about a storm; recommmended folks get inside
Looking out at a blue sky, confused I went to the other side of the house and saw huge grey clouds
Brought the plants inside just before the storm hit
A+ notification system

The quality of a system, digital or otherwise, should not only be measured by its ability to function under 'normal' circumstances, but rather how well it responds to suboptimal circumstances or unexpected situations, such as sudden surges in usage.
Agility requires distributed decision making
Distributed decision making requires trust
Trust requires demonstrating ability & expertise
Expertise requires continuous education & training
Want agility? Heavily invest in training & educating your teams
After almost a decade working for the #GC, I am happy to announce that, as of today, I have begun a new chapter of my career by starting with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as Senior Solutions Architect
Looking forward to watching #GCDigital continue to grow from across the pond!❤️
