Dr. Jim Anderson Speaks, Trains, Coaches, and Provides Consulting To Help Align IT Departments With The Rest Of The Business
Welcome to the premier blog for learning how to think and act like a successful CIO – both if you are a CIO today or if you hope to be one in the future.
In the past, the IT department was left along and was only noticed if something stopped working (like email!) However, in the 21st Century IT has become a critical part of how businesses compete.
The problem is that very few firms have figured out how to evolve from treating IT as a simple cost center to using it as a competitive advantage.
Dr. Jim Anderson has spent over 20 years consulting with a wide variety of IT firms from the very big to the very small. His insights into the leadership needed to combine the separate worlds of business and IT strategy offer hope to firms everywhere who are struggling with this challenge.
In this blog, The Accidental Successful CIO, Dr. Anderson offers his insights on how to get business and the IT groups to work together for the betterment of the firm.
