Strategic Thinking Beyond Systems: Applying IT Frameworks to Life and Leadership
In the world of IT strategy, frameworks like the 5 Whys, OKRs, Product Model Canvas, ITIL and Agile retrospectives are essential for designing futuristic systems, driving clarity, alignment, and innovation. But what if these same methodologies could be used to architect not just systems—but ourselves?
This talk explores how the principles behind robust IT strategy design can be extended to personal decision-making, leadership development, and life design. We’ll dive into the most commonly used strategy frameworks in IT Operations, their best practices in enterprise environments, and how their structure can be mirrored in personal and professional growth.
