The Death of the Business & IT: A Pragmatic Approach to Connecting the DOTS

By Kevin Lee Smith

Most Enterprises organise themselves around the tried and tested "Business" and "IT" way of thinking, and their departments and CxOs. This is understandable and has served us well over the years. However, this paradigm is no longer appropriate.

In the 21st century, the "IT" of an Enterprise is so inextricably linked to "The Business" of an Enterprise, it is impossible to decide where "The Business" stops and "IT" begins. In fact for many Enterprises today, "IT" is the business to a large extent. So, does this mean handing over the management and direction of the Enterprise to "IT"? No. that would be ludicrous, but so is thinking in terms of "The Business" and "IT". So what do we do? How can we square this circle? How can we think and organise enterprises in the 21st Century? The answer is to think in terms of Connecting the DOTS(TM)

This book introduces a new way of thinking about Enterprises, in terms of the parts that are strategically important, rather than the outdated "The Business" & "IT" that most Enterprises continue to use.
