That word you keep using… I do not think it means what you think it means.” This sentiment often rings true in tech meetings, where acronyms and complex terms are frequently used more for show than for clarity.
While these terms are a part of our industry’s lexicon, they can inadvertently create barriers, particularly for those who are not deeply immersed in the tech world. The role of a technologist should extend beyond mere technical execution; it should encompass education and engagement. Our objective should be to facilitate ‘buy-in’ and understanding, not to mystify or elevate ourselves at the expense of clear communication.
At Allineated, we prioritize building relationships founded on trust and understanding. We recognize that a company’s most valuable assets are employees who not only use technology but understand and value it, including the measures taken to secure it. We aim to demystify technology, making it accessible and relatable to everyone, regardless of their technical background.
