This blog was started to spread my vast knowledge about the subject of technology business management. Vast may be an overstatement, but my point of view may be valuable to you. Read this page if you’ve just started in the field or if you’re looking for tips to take your company (and your career) to the next level. It’s my firm belief that TBM as a discipline will be an attractive career choice over the next 15 years. Companies are spending more than ever on their technology organizations. They need folks to help them manage this spend and the organizations that go along with it.
Some parts of this site will focus on the financial aspects of being a tech business manager. But there’s a lot more to the job than just numbers. Let’s discuss how to manage the HR side of the org, the management of programs and projects, and how to deal with the folks you meet along the way. If you have questions, please send them to guru@tbmwisdom.com and I’ll try to provide my view on the topic.
This site won’t mince words. We will call a spade a spade and point out some of the bullshit you’ll encounter on the job. The hope is that a common sense approach to the role will be valued over most of the information that’s available on the web that amounts mostly to marketing.
