I heard from one of the so-called "Technical" platform managers that due to the blowback of how poorly IT has managed the transformation, the term Digital Platform is now viewed in a negative light by non IT folks in the company. The CDO is considering renaming Digital Platforms to something else in an effort to drive enthusiasm and re-Imagine IT...again. But wait....it gets even more rediculous. Apparently the top alternatives being considered are Digital Farms and Digital Factories.

Let's call them Digital Port-a-Potties. Cause all the work is going to sh-IT anyways, might as well make sure it all is effectively collected in 1 damn place.
Eff it. Let's all go back to analog.
Renaming Digital Platforms? Not a surprise here…just another shell game by B!ll B. and the IT leadership team… when you can’t deliver working platforms, you change the name, start over projects, new timeline and new budgets. Great ways to confuse the business and IT employees
We don't need more Machine Learning. We need more Machine Diversity and Inclusion training! Guys be more sensitive.
Digital deification … faster and smoother than ever before due to machine learning enhancements!
We need much deeper digital penetration to fully explore our potential.
I’m sensing a lack of alignment here. Tell me about your mission and vision?.
Digital Wastelands? Where every Hi p-t Product Owner's dashboard goes to die. LOL
You left off Yee Hawwww!
Oh, My first thought why certain Digital Platforms may be renamed was because they already had names like; Robert E. Lee, Andrew Jackson, All Lives Matter, and such….
Chevron doesnt realize how bad IT
Is at Chevron.
getting rid of network drives and moving to onedrive/sharepoint was too fast and furious

"how poorly IT has managed the transformation"
What transformation?!?
Can we rename chapters to something cool like clan, coven, fellowships, factions, or tribes?
Get rid of digital and tech and go back to typewriters … eliminate hacking and ransom ware. Oh, so sorry, millennials dont know what a typewriter or Big Chief pad looks like and how they operate.
Digital Kibbutz? Kickbutts? Digital Kicks Bu-t? bupkiss? buttkiss?
At this point who cares what the name is. IT morale is severely damaged and well being is in the dumpster after the transformation and all this mess.
Can we do digimon?
Chevron Presents …..Real Men of Genius.
I’m not remapping all this bullish!t again.
We can grow some really good digital Weed on that Digital Farm.
Lol, sounds completely plausible. Such leadership from our technical visionary Chief Digital Officer. “I know. Let’s rebrand this sh!t. That’ll fix it.” ImagineIT 2.0, now featuring 20% less sûck. Here’s an idea? How about firing the fûcktards that came up with this sh!t? Oh wait, most of them were consultants or EOI’d /Retired with nice severance checks before the sh!tstorm. Guess we’ll fix it… I prefer farm to factory. Prettier views. Fresh air.
They might as well name it "Thelayoff.com", where all the incompetents at Chevron spend all their time, lol
Regrets - stands for Chevron Homey IT.
Names do mean alot - especially when they are tarnished or soiled.
On the other hand - one of our major competitors named their IT outfit 'EMIT'.
Like the Clown.
This has been somewhat of a protection - could be laughed off.
Even as EMIT went completely fubar and cost the company billions in failed projects and rollouts. It's just that old clown.
So - my recommendation for a new name:
CHIT.
Simple enough.
