One of the written questions asked about my TUM presentation was:
“Your enterprise developed from a product enterprise to an IT Liberation Organisation … How do your personal duties, challenges and approaches change with this development?”
(From Questions&Answers zu InterFace)
I presume that the student meant IT Counselling Organisation, rather than IT Liberation Organisation. It was probably just a Freudian Slip?
Yet the idea is all but stupid!
If only we could manage to achieve this:
IT counsellors as liberators from IT!
It is a concept that could conquer the entire world. And the head of the movement would certainly get quite rich in the process. I already see myself resembling one of those Russian multi-millionaires, sitting in the reclining chair of my 60-metres yacht, below me the oceans of this world, in my left hand a glass of champagne and my right hand on the knee of my young playmate.
But I am afraid it is not going to happen. I cannot believe I would be able to build up a world-wide IT liberation organisation. Consequently, the thing to do this morning is to go to my InterFace office as usual.
What a pity. I could certainly have made many people happy with this new concept.
