Garbage In, Garbage Out is a term that's heard ever more frequently now that we're looking at the quality of information that's being used with AI systems, but it's not new.

In this episode we've looked at how data is used for Technology Business Management and how you need to understand the ways that people are responsible for it. We particularly cover how people put effort into managing the data that they need and use directly, but not necessarily the data that connects them into a wider business context.

How can you live without Technology Business Management? (Did I really just type that?)

It's not the most important question in the world, but if you're looking at adopting TBM as part of your business management processes, explore why should you follow through on this thought rather than doing your own thing.

When you have large amounts of information in your TBM Cost Model, do you gain more by making it all available to everyone, or by limiting access to specific parts of it and specific people? In this episode we aim to cover some of the though processes you should go through, on a question that has kept coming up since the advent of Technology Business Management as a discipline.

If you suddenly found that everyone important was looking at your fantastic TBM Cost Model and asking you impactful questions, would you be ready? You can plan and prepare for this, with some of the ideas we cover in this episode, but would it be enough?

Many technologists who start working TBM have little (or no) understanding of one of the core financial concepts needed in order to understand how a business sees its technology cost.

In this episode, we look at how you can easily understand what you need to not get lost in this at the beginning. This topic could run and run, so please don't get frustrated if you know more that we talk about ... we may come back to it later.

Do you need a TBM Office (TBMO) to get Technology Business Management to work? If you don't have the ability to dedicate yourself or others to doing this work, just how far can you go and how much value can you show your business?

TBM practitioners come from a wide variety of business backgrounds, and definitely start by needing to learn how to work with information from sources and disciplines they don't historically know about.

Find out a bit more about how you might approach this, whether you're coming from a technology, finance or business perspective.
