This document discusses how IT spending as a percentage of capital expenditures by companies has increased dramatically since the 1960s but begins to level off in the 2000s. It argues that simply spending more and more on IT will not provide a lasting strategic advantage, and that companies should focus instead on cost-effectiveness and security. While new technologies can initially provide benefits, those advantages are often temporary and do not guarantee long-term success.
Total absorption through the first three quarters of 2015 was at its highest level since the end of the recession and all of those gains have been in the suburbs. Diving even further, 92.0 percent of the absorption has been in Northwest County and Clayton
The ideas that zoom in on The Day After Tomorrow are the ones that change entire companies, industries and even the world. They are where ENORMOUS amounts of LONG TERM VALUE lie. They are where the truly great ones – the giants of industry, those that provoke paradigm shifts – focus a lot of attention on: the Ubers of this world, and the Googles, with their moon shots. In this eye-opening presentation, Peter explains how we need to adapt to the accelerated speed of the market and how others were able to do so, in a way that propelled them ahead of the race. He shows how companies won’t make it to the Day After Tomorrow if they don’t embed Day After Tomorrow Thinking into the DNA of their organisation.

Editor's Notes
\"Information technology is best understood as the latest in a series of broadly adopted technologies that have reshaped industry over the past two centuries - from the railroad to the telegraph to the electric generator. For a brief period, as they were being built into the infrastructure of commerce, all these technologies opened opportunities for forward-looking companies to gain real advantages. But as their availability increased and their cost decreased - as they became ubiquitous - they all became commodity inputs. From a strategic standpoint, they became invisible; they no longer mattered. That is exactly what is happening to information technology today, and the implications for corporate IT management are profound.\"
Behind the change in thinking lies a simple assumption: that as IT’s potency and ubiquity have increased, so too has its strategic value. It’s a reasonable assumption, even an intuitive one. But its mistaken

As IT power and presence have expanded, companies have come to view it as a resource ever more critical to their success, a fact that is clearly reflected in their spending habits.
What makes resource truly strategic - what gives it the capacity to be the basis for a sustained competitive advantage - is not ubiquity but SCARCITY.
