Next-generation businesses are agile, innovative, collaborative, fluid—from their IT environment to their corporate culture. They have the people, processes and technology to harness new ideas and make them work; to crowdsource effectively, inside and out; to thrive on change, yet control the chaos. How can organizations embrace the latest changes in the IT and business landscape? It's not an easy journey, and requires vision and skill sets not always found in conventional organizations, let alone IT. Yet there are now compelling case examples and precedents that point the way to more effective, productive, and high impact applications of IT to business needs and challenges.
