I just read this very interesting article from MIT Sloan: How Leading Organizations Are Getting The Most Value from IT.
My immediate takeaways align with our strategy (warning for confirmation bias) to provide a business low-code platform that lets our customers transform their businesses with maximum ability to handle the "unknown, unknowns."

[fa icon="calendar'] 27/05/19 07:00 / by Frida Höök posted in ideas, low-code, CEO, application development, CIO, business applications, IT, agile, low code platform, legacy system, innovation, competitive layer

No business is safe from digital disruption. Even if you have embraced cloud and on-demand systems in your IT organization, your business is still vulnerable to market and competitive pressures to stay connected in real time with customers and partners. Technology is pervasive - and that means employees and customers want to work on the go, connect seamlessly and have up to the minute data at their fingertips. Their expectations are high. Oh, and did we mention that this all needs to be secure, reliable and flexible?
