From Information Technology To Business Technology ~ Focus on Efficiency <br>- Beyond Project Management -

In this interview George Colony, CEO of Forrester Research, calls for IT and business execs to start thinking and acting in a profoundly different way by changing Information Technology to Business Technology.

Supporting this shift, requires the right answers to these three key questions:

Do you have the right CIO?
Do you govern in the right way?
Do you have the right business executives?

Notable Quotes:

We're not in the technology business anymore; we're in the real business — the company's business.

The CEO and the CIO must have a good relationship: They have to go have a drink someplace, and they've got to say, "We're not doing this right; let's change our focus and make IT about the business."

Focus on Efficiency is based on Project Management; Lean Six Sigma; Benefits Management research, processes, tools and techniques developed and presented by John Ward, et al. at Cranfield University School of Management (many of which can be found in the book Benefits Management: Delivering Value from IS and IT Investments (John Wiley Series in Information Systems) by John L. Ward & Elizabeth Daniel); a great many other readings; and my own thoughts and experiences.
