Calculus of IT - Episode 19 - 4/3/2024 - "New IT Leader's Survival Guide Chapter 23 - The End of Year 1"

The Calculus of IT

In Episode 19, Mike and Nate wrap up the new IT Leader's first year. It's been an awesome journey so far and we have dissected the first year into all of its necessary parts. Reflecting on the first 18 podcasts, we started with the first 90 days in which we covered:

Building your Foundation
Writing a 90 Day Plan
Conducting your Key Stakeholder Interviews
Rolling up your results and presenting to the ET
Creating your organizational model
Managing your MSP
Writing your first Budget
Communicating to the Business
Creating a Security Stack
Developing a service and support model
Then we covered the rest of year 1 by discussing:
A revisit to budgeting with an emphasis on reforecasting and planning
Strategic planning
Governance
Employee Lifecycle Management
Working with your partner
Training and Education
and
Performance assessments
Wow. We hope you enjoyed Year 1 and next week we will be kicking off the discussion on Years 2 and 3.

We also had the usual banterous banter and spent a few moments considering just how freaking good barbecue sauce is.
