About this title

Synopsis

It's time to completely rethink IT
It's time for a radical change in IT
It's time for Fusion

There is a fundamental dilemma in the world of IT: the technical challenges and opportunities have never been greater, but at the same time the role of IT and the role of the CIO has never been questioned more.

The relationship between business and IT is in many companies at an all-time low. The model of Alignment that we've pursued for more than 20 years in IT doesn t work anymore. It's time for change. It's time for a radical change in the relationship between business and IT. It's time for Fusion.

In times of economic downturn your business needs IT leaders, not followers. Fusion can help CIOs and IT managers to become real heroes in tough economic times, and can help expose the true value of IT.

Fusion starts where Alignment stops: it turns CIOs into business leaders, injects business savvy into the IT department, and transforms IT into the organization everyone wants to work in. Fusion makes a job in IT attractive again.

Fusion is about blending IT into the business, and is a recipe for business integration and innovation. Fusion is about the future evolution of IT. Fusion is the future of IT.

This book provides a roadmap for the journey to completely rethink IT, and transform IT into something radically new.
Gone is the old IT. Long live Fusion. Let this book be your guide to the metamorphosis of IT.

Who should read this book?
Both IT and business people who want to know more about the relationship between business and IT, the new role of IT (and of the CIO), and how to turn your business/IT cooperation into a proactive strategic innovative relationship.
