- Business imperatives for information technology - survey report 2005
16 Jun 05 | Single Topic Reports
Information technology lies at the heart of efforts by businesses to improve their efficiency, effectiveness and competitiveness, and its importance will grow over time.
But a major barrier to more extensive implementation of IT is the capacity of general management to understand both its potential and its limitations.
This is one of the main conclusions from an in-depth telephone survey of more than 400 senior executives from large businesses in Europe, North America and Scandinavia undertaken by the Financial Times Research Centre on behalf of the Leading Edge Forum.
- The Future of the IT Organization – A Research Perspective
11 Oct 05 | Presentation
In this introductory presentation, David explains the Leading Edge Forum’s approach to researching and assessing the future of the IT organization, and highlights our key overall findings.
We have identified five primary factors: changing business requirements, the balance between internal and external sourcing, the increasing consumerization of IT, the shift from a vertical to a horizontal service model, and the impact of new technologies. Each of these forces will be put into an integrated model of evolutionary and structural change.

- Business Imperatives – 2005
17 Feb 05 | Presentation
After years of relative stability, IT organizations are entering a new and uncertain era. Despite much recent discussion, IT actually matters more than ever to most businesses, as information technology becomes ever more embedded in most new products and services, and as companies increasingly rely on IT to spur business innovation. The great work of using IT to transform whole sectors such as entertainment, retail, health care, automotive, manufacturing, education, government and defence has clearly just begun.
But as the use of IT expands from supporting the business to being inseparable from the business, the management of IT will need to change. For too long, IT organizations have mostly looked downwards into their operations, spending the majority of their time installing and maintaining critical systems and applications. However, it is now becoming clear that in the future, IT leaders will need to look outward at their business´s changing requirements and the IT architectures that can support them.
