Luis de la Fuente on IT strategy

Show notes

This podcast compares the strategic approach of Luis de la Fuente, coach of the Spanish national team, with IT governance in companies. De la Fuente relied on an offensive playing style, team spirit, flexibility and creativity, which led to winning the Nations League. Gerhard Friedrich argues that IT departments would also benefit from an offensive strategy instead of relying on defensive measures. He advocates a proactive approach to requirements, teamwork, flexibility and creativity in IT development. The recipe for success lies in execution and a willingness to implement changes, even when setbacks occur.
