Instead of writing reports, he built a company that delivers results. In this episode, Jordan unpacks how IT Select is transforming the consulting industry using speed, automation, and proprietary AI models to save time, money, and sanity. Key Discussion Points: How working at Apple and Dell revealed the inefficiencies of traditional IT buying Why slow evaluation cycles are costing companies millions The difference between real consulting and binder-pushing How IT Select reduces 90-day evaluations down to 9 days Building a proprietary AI model to future-proof enterprise tech stacks Why speed is the new currency for decision-makers What makes IT Select different from every other consultancy The trap of “analysis paralysis” in corporate tech decisions Takeaways: Efficiency beats complexity—especially when powered by data AI isn’t the future of consulting, it’s the present Fast, confident decisions are the edge every company needs Being lean, focused, and human-centric can outpace any legacy firm Closing Thoughts: Jordan Sallander is building more than a consultancy—he’s creating a new standard for how companies buy and implement technology. By ditching the fluff and embracing automation, he's giving decision-makers what they actually need: clarity, confidence, and speed in a world that moves too fast to wait. Hosted on Acast.
