9 myths why people think digital sovereignty is complex

I disagree with all of them

Let's name the myths of digital sovereignty complexity.

But I disagree with the premise of complexity. Even if organizations cite it as the #1 challenge.

Here they are…

#1 "The landscape changes too fast to keep up."

The building blocks don't. Focus on those.

#2 "Analysis paralysis from too many options."

There are only 3 fundamental options.

#3 "Too much jargon and technical complexity."

Nowadays, this can be solved with a simple prompt.

#4 "Too many regulations to track."

I once saw a tracker with 200+ regulations. I boiled it down to 3 types. Much easier.

#5 "No playbook. I want frameworks."

I focus on principles. They apply regardless of frameworks.

#6 "Too many announcements."

My antidote: Focus only on what's really launching.

#7 "Vendor claims maze."

The ultimate tool to decipher anything? Ask, "Which specific problem does this solve?" Your favorite AI can help.

#8 "Too technical for execs."

An ex-colleague used to say: "After all, it's just about risk." And any risk can be brought to the boardroom. (DM me for the template)

#9 "Integration complexity with existing systems."

This isn't an integration problem. It's a sign of a bad design.

Curious if there are others out there.
