The little t and the Big T

Define technology?
Here’s my definition: technology is a problem-solving tool.

Computer science is a problem-solving method.

Technology teams are a bunch of people applying computer science problem solving to business problems that produce technology. And perhaps, a few people supporting the platforms that help enable the problem-solving.Like GitHub or email for instance.

Your Technology teams key success factor is how well they can apply those technology changes to the business.

It amazes me how this foundational understanding of what technology is and what Technology teams do, is not well understood by corporations.

And why technology and culture are linked together.

How successful a Technology team is, is likely driven by how they can influence the beliefs, behaviours, systems or symbols that also change with the application of these new problem-solving tools.
