Parallel

From Nexthink and the creators of The DEX Show, this is Parallel: One IT story told week by week. Because technology problems don’t happen in isolation. Or by themselves. They happen in parallel. I’m Tim Flower. For the last 10 years, I’ve spent my career helping IT teams understand how productivity is stolen. Murdered even. Both from IT, and from the employees we support. It’s been a journey of seeing workdays gone wrong, systems gone haywire, and the lengths we in IT go to for answers. This mission started out to answer one simple question: What’s been killing productivity at Zentech, a cutting-edge company known for its efficient operations and innovation? Or, to get more technical about it, where do employees lose 24 minutes every day of their working lives? Over the course of 5 weeks, you’ll see that answering that question uncovered all sorts of other unanswered questions, and we ended up finding more mysteries - crashing systems, failed updates, unhappy employees, and a strange reference to something called “The Foundation”.
