Mick's been working on IT-enabled change for longer than he really wants to admit to himself.
Beginning back in the ’90s, this Generation X’er has lived through the rise of mainframes and green screens, the explosion of desktop computing, and the earliest days of dial-up internet. He’s seen organisations chase the promise of ERP, the dot-com boom and bust, the shift from on-premise to cloud computing, and now the brave new world of digitisation and AI — each wave bringing new tools, new jargon, new promises, and new challenges.
Along the way, he’s seen what makes change succeed — and what makes it fail — in the messy, political, and very human world of large (and not-so-large) organisations.
For Mick, it's really about the technology. It’s really always been about the people. About helping them — and the organisations they operate in — to learn, adapt, and thrive amid constant reinvention.
