Closing the Gap Between Business & IT
Closing the Gap Between Business & IT
Smart practices the key to successful collaboration
Although modern businesses are becoming more and more dependent upon information technology in general - and software in particular - in many organizations the gap between the business and IT seems to be growing not shrinking.
The fact that it is so easy to recognize that there is a gap is itself quite damning, and indicative of the challenges many businesses face to enable their information technology to be the difference that makes the difference - the thing that secures their position as leaders in the internet age.
In this talk Agneta Jacobson, will examine where the gap comes from, discuss how shared practices can help to close the gap, and examine some of the practices that are needed to create an atmosphere of true collaboration between business and IT.
Learn how you can transform an adversarial and counter productive relationship into one of true collaboration and exponentially increase the value generated by your investment in IT.
