In the end, exploitation pays your salary while exploration pays your pension. Companies that survive do both.

Steve Blank, September 2021

What might you need to explore, lead, and disrupt?…

Awareness of where existing data resides in the IT landscape and how it flows (ie., data lineage/genealogy). …so you can integrate in existing, valuable data such as Customer or Order History.

Awareness of relevant integrations (e.g. API’s) for desired data. …so you don’t have to unnecessarily duplicate IT Applications or Integrations if adding a new product or service. …so you can accelerate disruption.

Do you have an integrated map of the IT landscape spanning Applications, Data, and Integrations?
