Not prepared for cloud outages? You should be

 Fast Company
Thomas spoke to fast company about why tech literate leaders (and intelligent software) save businesses time, money and morale. Speaking on the topic of why tech literacy for leaders has become more important than an MBA, he spoke from personal experience:

"we often work with enterprises that are merging with new companies—primarily to help them integrate different technical environments (such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365) and enable coexistence between systems during gradual transitions. Some traditionally minded executives focus on the corporate politics of mergers but assume technological synchronization can happen too quickly. Underestimating the scale of this task is a leading cause of merger failure, especially in tech-exposed sectors like banking.

When leadership lacks technical literacy, we have seen executives mandate a near overnight switch to email, cloud, and collaboration tools—changing established workflows dramatically without understanding the cost behind them. These methods lead to predictable failures, like broken access, compliance gaps, and a very overworked IT help desk.

In these cases, tech-literate leadership is quite literally decisive. The skill to let technology guide your approach to practical problems like these can be just as important as the business acumen that an MBA gives you."
