“The IT Autonomy Paradox”

In the fast-paced world of IT, it's easy to feel like you're losing control. Every new tool, platform, and vendor promises to make your life easier, but in reality, they often come with hidden costs: a slow erosion of your ability to make independent choices.

The IT Autonomy Paradox is a clear, no-nonsense guide for IT leaders and professionals who refuse to let their decision-making power slip away. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience, I’ve broken down the subtle traps of modern IT and provide a practical framework to build and preserve your strategic independence.

Inside, you'll discover how to:

  • Spot the signs of vendor lock-in before it's too late.

  • Navigate the complexities of technical diversity without creating chaos.

  • Use the four pillars of IT decision-making to make choices that serve your company's unique needs.

  • Become an Autonomy Architect - a leader who designs for freedom, not just efficiency.

This book is a call to action. It’s for anyone who wants to move beyond reactive management and build a future where technology serves your vision, not the other way around. Download now!
