In Episode 21, Mike and Nate take a wack at unstructured data becoming natively structured, some recent AI shenaniganery and, most importantly, begin the walkthrough of Year 2 for a new IT Leader. The walkthrough starts with a revisit of budgeting and reforecasting and the emphasis is on three major impacts: Platforms, Milestones, and Capex vs Opex. Mike is off to NOLA on a special assignment so we look forward to his on the spot reporting next week.

In episode 20, our fearless podcast hosts went on the road and managed to finagle their way into the BioIT World conference in Boston. We recorded this live from the Kestra bar at the Omni hotel and had several friends come by on camera (or off) to give us their insights into the technology road ahead. Plus, it has the usual shenanigans and discussions over various topics. We hope you enjoy it!! Next week, it's back to the barn, and we will start to focus on what happens after your first year as an IT Leader.

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.
