The Eight Things We Hate About I.T: Susan’s new book

Great news! Susan’s new book is shipping from Amazon US and will be fully distributed by the end of this month.

The book, published by Harvard Business Press, is entitled, "The Eight Things We Hate About I.T.: How to move beyond the frustrations and form a new partnership with I.T."

The book is written to help operational business leaders manage IT (both the asset and the organization). It’s also written to help IT leaders renew the conversation about how IT and the other parts of the business can better collaborate and fully leverage technology’s potential.

The cool technologies that are transforming the competitive landscape and how companies operate are not prototypes in some electronic giant's lab. They're in the marketplace, and affordable. You don't have to overhaul your IT architectures to implement them. If anything, they improve the value of that architecture that you spent gillions putting in place.

And, as a bonus, these technologies promise to, in the words of one savvy CIO, "make IT fun again!"

Okay, maybe that's taking things a bit far. Still, a lot of smart people predict we're at the front of an astonishing transformation, that the next 30 years of technology development are going to make the last 30 look like the qualifying rounds in the Olympics.

Sounds great, right? Unfortunately, only 25% of business leaders feel smart about IT. Technology will fail to deliver as long as business leaders continue to behave as if IT is something that is done to them rather than by them.
