The IT Department Is Dead. Long Live the Organization.
We treated technology as a toolset—servers, networks, applications—something to be deployed, maintained, and occasionally fixed. The IT department became the custodian of this machinery: provisioning access, patching vulnerabilities, restoring what was broken.
But something fundamental changed.
Technology stopped being infrastructure and became cognition.
Algorithms don’t just execute—they decide.
Systems don’t just store—they interpret.
Platforms don’t just connect—they shape behavior.
And yet, we are still organizing ourselves as if “thinking with machines” were a specialized function delegated to a single department.
It is not.
It never was.
