Countless colleagues within the industry will be able to relate to the kinds of obstacles being faced by Lorraway and his team on a daily basis . Traditional challenges like budgeting are up there with the toughest , but luck has often been on their side .
“ When you ’ re dealing with a board of directors , 9.9 times out of 10 they ’ re not technically sound ,” says Lorraway . “ You have to convince these businesspeople that a certain technology is going to improve operations so they will give you the money to do just that .
“ I ’ m extremely lucky , though , that part of Okada ’ s mission is to be an innovative global leader . I ’ m also lucky that we have one of the best CTOs on the planet and a Chief Security Officer who is very technologically-minded and supportive .”
Undoubtedly , however , the biggest ongoing challenge for the Okada Manila tech team is prioritisation .
