Jason Bloomberg brings in an interesting perspective by saying: Balderdash! on Dangers of Bimodal IT.
Jason explains:
The business world is in a perennial state of flux, and the ever-increasing sophistication of technology is only accelerating the velocity and diversity of such change. Transformation is all around us – even in the dusty old data centers filled with ancient legacy monoliths.
…
Furthermore, there is no black and white distinction between the two modes of IT, simply because the business doesn’t require two distinct modes.
Instead, when the business faces disruptive business agility drivers, those drivers lead both to the self-organizing, cross-organizational teams that characterize the agile/innovative mode-2 as well as the transformation of traditional IT – but in a step-by-step, business-driven fashion.Fundamentally, Bimodal IT recommends maintaining your organizational silos, which is contrary to the entire notion of business transformation.
I highly suggest you to read the whole blog post http://de.sys-con.com/node/3208685, Jason explained very well the major issues with Bimodal IT and gives great advice at the end 😉
