The science & art of scaling pilots into a global IT organization - a technologists view
Scaling a global IT organization requires prioritizing people, skills, and collaboration through a single flat team with a common development stack, democratic process, and liquid resource pool.
- People are the most critical asset in a global IT organization
- Build a single global product team with people from various countries, not multiple teams in different regions
- Create a flat team structure with no individual spaces or hierarchies
- Prioritize skills early, especially in IT, as deep IT skills are essential for scaling and innovation
- Invest in a common development stack and standardize on languages and tools
- Use this development stack to transform the organization
- Implement a democratic and open process, allowing everyone to contribute and innovate
- Run a migration program to scale innovation globally
- Ensure that the product team has the necessary technical depth to scale up or down as needed
- Strive to build a liquid resource pool with a global talent pool
- Recognize that scaling IT globally is a significant challenge and requires careful planning and governance
- Prioritize people over technology and process in order to achieve success
