“IT Doesn’t Matter” is a famous HBR article by Nick Carr, originally published in 2003. I wonder what companies that followed this advice think of it today. (If they still exist, of course.) hbr.org/2003/05/it-doesnt-ma…

it was one of the things that led Reed Hastings to push for an early move to cloud. Worked out ok for Netflix...

I would have argued that that was actually the opposite move, and he decided *only* IT matters

there’s a specific public reference, maybe in the Bloomberg cover story from 2012 or so, to Reed using the IT Doesn’t Matter story as a prompt for the question of what parts of IT should become undifferentiated heavy lifting.
