I’ve been obsessing over this for a while, but I want to ask the community: Does anyone else recognize this as a systemic issue in our industry? >
We see it everywhere—manufacturing, banking, generic enterprise IT. We have more 'methodologies' and 'certifications' than ever, yet the Knowledge Chasm remains. We still rely on a few 'Local Heroes' to carry the project logic in their heads, and when they rotate out, the project hemorrhages value.
Is it possible that our current way of 'implementing' is fundamentally broken because it treats IT like a creative craft rather than a high-precision engineering discipline? I’m moving away from theory and certifications to focus on a 'hands-on' protocol, but I’m curious if others see the same structural rot.
