IT Wars Managing the BusinessTechnology Weave in the New Millennium
Author: David Scott

I.T. Wars is the first book to effectively tackle the necessity for proper alignment of technology and business, from a holistic consideration, in achieving best results and optimal returns. The true challenge is in bringing diverse groups of people together from the business and technical realms, in defining needs and in making true delivery o... more »f solutions. The challenge is cultural, and the new cultural standard is the Business-Technology Weave. The Weave is an approach that turns everyone and everything into a responsible forward edge. It includes considerations of people, knowledge, communication, corporate culture, attitudes, relationships, content (information), infrastructure, applications, needs, and expectations. It comprises missions with specific beliefs, values, and standards in service to security and growth. The Weave clears political impairments, helps to dismantle protectionism and jealousy, and breaks down departmental “silos.” It opens the way to a future that you define – in preventing the alternative: future’s imposition on you. Organizations need to be tuned and balanced in accordance with the continuum of change. Within this continuum are ongoing challenges, and the contiguous nature of technology's support to every corner and crevice of today's business process. You must maximize and safeguard employee activity. What are the liabilities in today's environment of e-mail, blogs, IMs, downloads, and portable data? Consider: What is being done "in the name of your domain"? What are the new scales of disaster planning, preparedness, prevention, and recovery? Given the emerging, large-scale issues of national security – what can the “local” organization do regarding economic vulnerabilities? What is your organization’s role in contributing to the surrounding public safety – in securing your own? These areas and many more are exposed, examined, and discussed for ultimate outcome through the Weave. I.T. Wars begins with a patient, comprehensive exposure of today's environment and challenges, with equal attention to the Business and IT reader. Whether your organization is public, private, government agency, association, for-profit, non/not-for-profit, or even sole-proprietorship, you share in the same concerns: You need a business-driven technology strategy, as well as a business-serving one. I.T. Wars helps all groups to build a proper foundation of understanding with a clear view to forward progress - a vision and pragmatism strong enough to qualify any organization for discussion, planning, and achievement of the best business-technology outcomes. This environment qualifies as a true Business-Technology Weave - in leading and meeting every challenge, in delivering today and tomorrow's ultimate solutions.
