Understanding Business Risk and Technical Risk

Sh*t I Learned the Hard Way #SILTHW 

If we have learned anything in 2020 it is that business risk outweighs technical risk. Notice how so many companies that found it much too risky to allow people to work remote all of a sudden had no problem with it when not having people work remote would have caused them to go out of business. Or notice how the companies that had looked past the technical risk and had enabled remote work excelled quickly during the pandemic?  Technical risk is a component of business risk and not the other way around. In this episode I talk about the relationship between the two and how maybe 2020 has taught us a lesson.
