The IT Profession



“The current reality is that the IT organisation has
often assumed the role of a servant, and an
                                      ,
incompetent one at that, at least in the eyes of the
business”
“This is probably the most frequent state of affairs
that we encounter when we talk to business people
about their IT brethren: where the latter cannot be
trusted to do what they are told…”

The Technology Garden, 2007

The IT Profession


 “People are now thi ki th h
 “P     l            thinking they have t i
                                        to improve productivity; i
                                                      d ti it improve
 business flexibility; have new ways of accessing markets. And IT is
 part of all those things.

 So I think we will look back on this time as a very difficult time, but one
 that changed the way people thought about the role of IT in
 businesses and closed the door on the old view of IT as purely a cost
                                                     f
 saving mechanism.”

 “I think the b i
    thi k th business community generally k
                               it        ll knows th
                                                   there are no
 strategies without a technology strategy to support them. And that’s a
 fundamental shift in the way people think of IT.”
