Things haven't changed in IT so much. I am not in ICT management anymore, but I write software for the modern enterprise systems and networks - I'm reasonably up to date.

Ad medicine - hence my question, I'd really like to know what's the blocker. So far it seems the blocker is bad IT management, regulation and liability, not impossibility to perform the treatment.

Your answers indicate that you have not worked in n environment heavily dependent on ever shifting physical world logistics. You might try talking to some coordinators on the ground of a hospital, rescue center, consteuction site, theme park, or military operation for insight.

I talked to people in charge of the operations on a daily basis for years. I really don't think these considerations have changed that much since my times of leadership of an entire department managing just that.

reminds me of a ticket I once worked on, no emergency or anything, I just needed to crank out a few pages of cobol, it took a little while to type it in, and the boss of the department wanting the ticket done came by and asked what the holdup was, "I'm working on it, will be ready in a bit", the boss asked "what, don't you just need to press a button or something?" she too "lead a department." hahaha
