To truly thrive in the digital era—either as a disruptor or those fending off the disruptors—you need to think like a Software Person. Now, a Software Person is not necessarily a developer—it’s anybody who, when faced with a problem, asks the question: “How can software solve this problem?” That’s because being a Software Person is a mindset, not a skill set. Software People are the ones who see the world through the lens of software. They are endlessly optimistic, because they believe that any business problem can be solved once it’s brought into the domain of software.
