Open Mastery: Let's Conquer the Challenges of the Industry!

What if you could get upper management to care about your technical problems? Would you be willing to measure and prioritize the problems?

What if WE could stop the relentless business pressure that drives our software projects into the ground across the industry? I know this probably sounds impossible, but before you dismiss the idea entirely, let me show you that it is possible.

We can start a cascade of changes across the industry with only a handful of people that are willing to work together to make it happen.

90% of our software is built from existing parts. Bad software has become like environment pollution. With increasing demand for software, an irrelevant education system, and tons of developers building crappy software, we've got a dumping ground of shared software full of security risks and unexpected costs, and no way to tell what's what.

Open Mastery is a peer learning network focused on codifying open decision models and standards to solve industry-wide problems. This presentation is about the obstacles, the strategy, and the business model.

I need your help. Let's identify where the strategy might break, and figure out how to make it work. I'm launching Open Mastery in early 2016. Let's make this dream a reality.
