Jerry's B-School Blog

From Information Technology (IT) To Business Technology (BT) (via ForresterResearch)

George Colony’s Blog and Twitter.

1. It’s not IT anymore… it’s BT.
2. When it comes to technology… stop being clueless.
3. It’s not always the CIO’s fault … in some cases, it’s your fault.
4. You need four players to get business technology right - a CEO who is not clueless about IT; technology knowledgeable business executives, or TKBEs; the CIO; and a “techie” on the board of directors.
5. The CIO should not be — indeed cannot be — the driving force behind business process change and innovation.
6. Technology+process+organization - Technology can’t function in a vacuum; it needs the right process and the right organization to work.
7. When you’re looking for your next CIO, look for a teacher.
