21st-Century IT Personnel: Tooling Up or Tooling Down?
Cutter Consortium, Sep 2011, Pages: 36
Information and information technology have been (and will continue to be) drivers for a fundamental shift in business operating models. But will IT as a function be a relevant part of this? And, if so, at what impact to the oft-maligned IT worker? Is there a 21st-century IT professional?
The IT professionals of today and tomorrow are center stage for all of critical changes in organizational, global, and workforce trends. But are they ready? More importantly, are IT organizations in general and CIOs in particular ready?
Much has been written about the role of the 21st-century CIO. In the face of these complex, interconnected trends, the CIO is responsible for ensuring operational excellence, aligning IT with the business, and leading initiatives that transform how the enterprise operates.....all while devoting more personal time to a new role as business strategist. CIOs are being judged by their ability to leverage information technology to drive business strategy and innovation for competitive advantage. However, it is equally important that the CIO lead the development of an IT staff with the skills and experience to deliver all of this.
This issue of Cutter IT Journal examines the tremendous challenges ahead for CIOs as they determining how value is to be manifested in their organizations.
