Well, today is the end of the DCOSWeek. What happened.

On Tuesday evening, after our DCOS event, we were sat around talking. I said that the problem with good management is that we don't recognise it when we see it. I then argued that CS must be well managed, since it was doing exactly what a company should be doing, namely, serving the needs of the people who work and invested in it; serving the needs of its customers; and finally, serving the needs of society.

This week is DCOS week! We will be releasing content every day this week about Mesosphere's DCOS and things related to it and its adoption. We will be using the hashtag, #DCOSWeek.

Ironic Goals We often meet customers, and partners, who have amazingly lofty ambitions. They would, for example, like to become the ‘Google of the Finance Sector’ or the ‘Netflix of the Netherlands’. We love these goals, and their ambition, but what we see is that they often become ‘ironic’. A goal that is way beyond the capabilities of an organisation induces such terror that it actually causes them to move away from the goal. There’s a lot.

This blog was written by Adrian before he got on a plane back home. I said I'd post it for him. Enjoy.
