... And we have a Chief digital officer - not sure doing what.
Even worse! They are sold by the belief that a resource is a resource and they can just throw more offshore at it and make things right! 15 years later and the insane losses on projects don't have them understanding that belief is a total crock of garbage.
This company is about holdings meetings for meetings.
If you have more than 2 team meetings a week means the managers don't have much to do.
There should be an edict from the top if you can't say what's happening in a 30 minute call once a week you need to be retrained.
Seriously inefficient managers, who need replacing.
Some teams are actively hiding behind their stupid processes. A Word document is not a process! Oh I got the word document did I, well let's just waste some more time shall we! Nothing is getting done, and you wonder why there is no pay rise.
There's a fine line between "do what you like whenever you feel like it" (which is bad) and being bogged down in process he-l that just serves little purpose.
Obviously dxc is the latter although I would say the process he-l comes from HPE ancestry and not Csc... The latter certainly had its problems but overwhelming bureaucracy wasn't one of them.
At the moment the processes for anything are at the point where I often just give up.
You think you are sc--wed up in creating a vm in delivery for a customer, hold your breath - the mess internally is even worse - getting a wbs created in finance or a vm built by internal IT - all takes Months with paper work galore!
it’s true you can’t do sh-t without filling out tons of change control documents and going to weekly CAB meetings where the change teams doesn’t know sh-t
To install a server, the build team takes forever, NRAF’s are needed for everything and that process is cumbersome as well
DNS and IP updates with IPAM is ridiculous as well
Should take 20 minutes to build a VM at most but with all the paper work it takes weeks
