The ‘developer’, as defined in the previous article, can deliver change. In the broadest sense of the term developer, these actors can deliver the new and the different. Using facts, methods, or changes resulting from insight can lead to implementing and deploying technologies, business processes, and resources. Meaningful change can come from actions as simple as streamlining process, rearranging work efforts, or replacing tasks with automation, but that is only the beginning. Effective enterprise developers have the greatest impact when they can perceive the gap between today’s business and the potential for a more efficient and effective use of company resources and capabilities.
Let’s be explicit. Regulatory compliance forces what must be done. Developers challenge the “why” things are done to test “how” they can be done. They can make an outsize impact on resilience and agility through their work.
From these characteristics, it’s obvious individuals in purely information technology, engineering, or specialists rarely become effective developers. Most often these are teams of qualified people who are tasked. They target processes from conceptualization to deployment. In many cases, these teams are higher risk and higher resource consumption. Politically, empowering an effective developer can be the lowest risk and cost.
