Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
The journey through this book begins by exposing the challenges in today's business, then goes beyond pointing out the need for change and creating an environment to encourage creativity and innovation, through importance of determining the purpose of company and individual actions.
The next stop along the way points to leaders who inspire us to persevere to go further even when we might give up if we were left to our own estimates. Along the way we pass through dangerous areas that respond to the name of the social network rule.
If we avoid all the dangers so far, the path finally leads us to the areas necessary to feel more comfortable on that journey. BI presents us with information about average price ticket, best period to book, best day for departure and return, alternative airports to pick up from for a cheapest fare. With the help of BPM we complete bookings, modify accommodations, and respond to disruptions, delays, or cancellations. AI suggests locations that we should visit because they suit our personality, and quantum computing takes care not to spend half a day in a traffic jam to reach them. And all that is executed in cloud.
Utopia or dystopia? I don't know, but it is up to all of us to take care to be much closer to the first choice.
Synopsis
A fascinating book about the intricacies of the digital revolution and how technology is affecting businesses worldwide.
Rethinking ComplexITy by Tomislav Milinovic offers a very broad view of the technological landscape and is communicated in a way that most of us can easily understand. From company culture, leadership, IT departments, the cloud to the blockchain, AI, and Quantum computing, Tomislav covers nearly all technical and business aspects of today's digital landscape.
Tomislav starts off by explaining why companies fail and the potential reasons why large companies fail, a failure in leadership in most cases. There are plenty of examples given in the book to justify his statements for each and every argument. The author then leads on to talk about creativity and innovation in the digital revolution.
Tomislav has excellent grasp of various subject matter regarding technology and how it is scrupulously fabricated around companies and their operations. With an emphasis on creating a solid company culture and the war for net neutrality, we move onto part 2 where Tomislav discusses the role of software, the IT departments and how IT projects are very critical, and how complex systems tend to fail. With incredible detail and plenty of examples and scenarios, Tomislav is able to paint a broad picture in the reader's minds of the gravity of software and its role in a company.
Part 3 discusses the BPM, Business Intelligence, cloud, AI, and blockchain aspects of the technological landscape. Tomislav explains in detail the benefits and drawbacks of cloud computing and builds a solid argument as to why more companies should shift to a cloud architecture. As the world is still coming to grasps with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Tomislav gives us a very detailed overview of the technology and how it is set to change and influence business operations today and in the future.
Rethinking ComplexITy has been a very fascinating read and there is a lot to learn and absorb from this incredibly detailed book. Although sometimes the latter part of the book can appear a bit too technical for a normal person, Tomislav has simplified the explanations as much as possible to provide a good understanding of the topics and content. This book is a great addition to the information technology and business sphere and you will be fascinated by the number of things you did not know about technology and its application in the real world.
