Outsourcing technology is slowing down Company’s development
Pros: Flexibility (office/work from home), benefits package, training, business trips
Cons: CEO is a finance person, doesn’t understand much about technology and projects which is not really a quality in  today’s business world. CIO is losing control and credibility as technology projects continues to show little results. The main vanguard Capgemini can’t live to the promises they made and technology projects are delayed, poor quality is delivered. Just focusing on the essential, the software/solutions delivered to support the business are just not making enough difference. Nothing disruptive. Good ideas are there however. Just the management and all the power given to a third party can explain current failure. Things are moving really really slowly. The culture brought from the US leadership is about minimizing real challenges  instead of working on solutions. Agile is the trendy word used those days however the principles and mindset are yet to be part of McDonald’s DNA.
