Topic: Re-inventing IT and the IT Professional
For the past fifty years company owners and their executive teams have invested in information technology with the goal of making their organizations more effective. Only a very, few have achieved their goal. Many have claimed success but when asked to compare their results with their expectation openly admit their claims of success where more for social and political reasons versus achieving their goal of creating an effective organization. Now is the time to re-invent the IT organization and the IT professionals.
The presentation will focus on the new roles and responsibilities of IT and the IT professional, the root problems of many of today’s IT organizations, and how organizations are correcting these problems. The presentation will draw from Mr. Eian’s experiences as a corporate executive and a management consultant.
