BUILDING THE BUSINESS OF THE FUTURE

Abstract

Traditional management of information technology must undergo rapid and radical change. Some call the discipline's current state of introspection an identity crisis. Others see it as a crisis for the very survival of the profession. Whatever self-examination IS professionals are experiencing, business management knows what it wants from IT: innovative, creative, entrepreneurial professionals who can step up to the risks and successfully manage them. Organizations need IT professionals who can generate results—and at a pace that can significantly leverage the corporation's ability to create value.
