After four episodes of context and base-building, we are now ready to jump headfirst into the season's theme.  We explored the daily battles IT leaders face against encroaching vendor dependencies, the insidious creep of "zero decision" defaults, and the constant pressure to sacrifice control for convenience. We spent some time exploring practical strategies for building autonomy into your IT infrastructure, from developing essential habits like the "Three-Year-Old Strategy" and the "Future Test" to designing processes that prioritize flexibility and knowledge sharing. 

Join us as we discuss the importance of documentation, the dangers of knowledge lock-in, and the often-overlooked human cost of losing autonomy. We also introduced the concept of an "autonomy score" and discussed how to measure success in this critical area. 

Come on in and have a listen, and prepare to have your young minds blown wide open.
