The detailed tenets of Antiheroism can be found by clicking here. Essentially, an Antihero organization is one in which the leaders recognize that they cannot do everything by themselves nor do they know how to do all that needs to be done. Instead, they find people and companies capable of accomplishing those necessary tasks.
Throughout the years, DCG has come to place tremendous value in the Antihero beliefs as they pertain to organizations infusing technology into their workflow.

The total cost of technology ownership is very high due to the rapid rate of change and obsolescence. Executives of organizations that are not technology-centric and that recognize the value of outsourcing will come out ahead. Building technology teams is an expensive proposition that diverts the most valuable assets an organization has away from the core reason of existence: time and money. Therefore, it is of utmost importance for organizations to work with the most competent technology partners available. If business owners and managers are doing anything outside the core functionality of their business, they are not gaining the most from the expertise and skills that they have worked so hard to develop.
