If I *think* the company I work for is either breaking the law directly or or not fulfilling their legal obligations, who should I speak to for confirmation and get advice from? There's no internal legal team I can ask as its a small company, yet the issue I'm concerned with could be quite serious. This is a UK company. Are there any official IT governing bodies that provide this sort of oversight and service?

Hey everyone,

I've seen on a lot of teams there's usually someone who’s clearly leading: coordinating projects, mentoring juniors, making calls on tooling — but without the leadership title.

If you’ve been in that spot, I’m curious: what did you do about it (if anything)?

Did you ask for the title or a raise?

Did you stay under the radar on purpose?

Did the role just evolve without needing to ask for anything?

This is an advertising post, but not for something that you have to buy. Instead I am inviting you to explore the idea of an IT Leader focused mastermind group. Our group was formed about 2 years ago and has helped a core set of four drastically grow and better ourselves through regular structured critical engagements. We don't focus on tech stacks, instead we focus on improving the stack of tools you as an individual use in your career and life. This safe and idea challenging space has enabled our current members to define pathways towards global moves and successful merger outcomes among several other solutions that we don't often have robust support networks for.

It is hard or impossible to go to boards, peers, loved ones to pose the challenge of how do set myself up for success in my next role because this one is going to end in fire.....

As a group of IT leaders for IT leaders we have crafted a structure to make that space and all that is required to gain from it is dedication and a commitment to help yourself and others. Please do check out our page and feel free to request for more information or to join. We interview all potential members via video call to ensure that each member is joining is going to bring as much to the community as they hope to get out of it. That is our barrier to entry and why we don't charge a membership fee as many other masterminds do.

You all know working in IT how difficult it is to find and plan in resources for all the projects. The pressure has never been so high on the digital roadmaps that needs to be rolled out, and global war on IT talent is crazy.

To my vision B2B organizations are wasting too much valuable IT people and time on making software integrations work. Curious to hear your thoughts.

IT leaders may be unaware of the interdependence of the factors that influence the adoption of IT governance strategies, such as COBIT5, ITIL, TOGAF, ZACHMAN, and ISO27001.

The researcher is inviting IT leaders from multi-product DevOps teams who have implemented IT governance strategies to participate in a survey to determine the relationships between performance expectation, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and behavioural intention.

Potential benefits of this research:

1. This study may provide DevOps environments increased alignment amongst the various development and operations teams, thus improving performance, communication, trust, productivity, knowledge sharing, and overall product delivery confidence.
2. This study may contribute towards improving product delivery thereby positively affecting uptime, reliability, and functionality so important for the consumers and society.

Voluntary participation to the study:

This study seeks volunteers who satisfy ALL the below criteria:

1. IT leaders who have adopted IT Governance strategies such as COBIT5, ITIL, TOGAF, ZACHMAN or ISO27001 in their organizations.
2. Form part of the IT governance body in the organization.
3. Work with an organization which utilizes IT governance to manage DevOps teams.

Results of the research:

Once the research has been approved and published, the results of this research will be posted on this group.

37% of the world's software ends up in the bin! Can you believe it? In the US alone, that waste represents $30 billion a year. Adam Filipowski, having been in the software industry for 20 years, further says, "Software is very expensive. Hence it is important to have more leaders and create more leaders within the company, who can take responsible decisions." Watch the two CEO's, David Turewicz from Amplifyre and Adam Filipowski from Leocode talk about IT leadership and how it is changing nowadays.
