@DrAndrewSchwarz I will take away a better understanding of the complexity and importance of building a proper IS structure within your company. It can dramatically affect the functionality of technology and employees.
@DrAndrewSchwarz Data and analytics are the key to making sound business decisions. They help identify markets, demographics and even new ideas for products and sales strategies.
@DrAndrewSchwarz They did not want to disrupt a system that was sufficient as is. Most companies won’t change something until they are forced to by necessity.
@DrAndrewSchwarz These restaurants are taking advantage of a growing opportunity and an easy way to decrease cost and increase profits. People prefer speed and convenience as it allows them to be more productive in their day.
@DrAndrewSchwarz Their success was due to a focus on utilizing an integrated IT system which was foreign at the time but they knew would keep them ahead of the game. Not scared of change.
@DrAndrewSchwarz This is a large scale scary problem that will be hard to control. Government regulation will not necessarily stop the amassment of data or how it is used in the private sector. We allow devices into our lives with out full consideration of the long term effects.
@DrAndrewSchwarz I think changes to IT allow us to be more creative as managers. We can do more with less people so we can empower them to try new ideas faster.
@DrAndrewSchwarz I’m very excited as a Fitbit user to see how they can increase the technology. The recent Fitbit updates and products have not changed much and marketing has dropped significantly.
@DrAndrewSchwarz I think grub hub is doing what they have to to stay up with the market and demand. They should just add on the app a note about those restaurants that are not directly partnered so customers don’t direct delivery issues to the restaurant.
@DrAndrewSchwarz I think the disconnect is due to a lack of understanding of what it takes to make all of the systems work including what creates errors/problems and how they are fixed or evolved.
