The Creed of the Technology Sherpa

This isn’t getting nailed to any big wooden doors, but I believe this does represent how a new breed of IT professionals and technology early adopters should act in their capacity as technology leaders.

The five tenants…

1. We are to be Technology Enablers and Community Advocates.

2. We must strive to build a plan that drives adoption of technology without fear.

3. We will work to accept all new and disruptive technology as a positive force for change to the betterment of all we guide.

4. We must learn to allow Outlier Issues to be what they are; nothing more than an outside chance that should not determine the technology use of others. To this end: Outdated and inexperienced notions of technology should not hamper adoption to those that are capable or willing to learn.

5. We will remember that, like water, those we guide will attempt to take the path of least resistance when it comes to utilizing technology, even when we have provided a different path.
