Managing Information Technology for Competitive Advantage Series

There are many challenges facing management in the deployment of information technology within organizations.

What are the investment and cost dimensions connected with technology management? On a practical level, organizations must invest in information technology (IT) in order to remain competitive. However, the “blow-up” of the “dot coms” clearly demonstrates the danger of trying to do too much with technology and basing an entire business on a flawed or incomplete business plan. Conversely, there is a potentially greater risk of doing too little and falling well behind the competition.

There are four key areas that Senior Managers must understand about information technology in order to competently perform their management oversight duties. These sessions will address each of those four key issues from that business perspective. They are presented by a management consultant who has over thirty years of experience across many industries, both as a consultant and as a practitioner in multi-national organizations. The common thread is that COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE should be a major consideration in making both investment and deployment decisions.
