Is Spreading The Word About Innovation And Sustainable Success

An old cliché holds that “if you throw enough spaghetti at the wall, some of it will stick.” And while that may be true, it’s an inefficient, messy, and costly way to determine whether your pasta is ready to serve.

The same point can be made about business technology. If you develop countless new technologies in a strategic vacuum, you might get lucky and find that one initiative in a long line actually complements and forwards your business objectives. But with THE POWER OF CONVERGENCE, you’ll be sure that every technological undertaking is in perfect sync with business strategies and goals. Beyond typical definitions of alignment and synchronization – positive states in which technology supports and enables current business strategy and anticipates possible future models – true convergence fully intertwines business and technology activities. The dichotomous, over-the-wall model of business-to-tech communication is gone, replaced with a system in which leadership teams operate almost interchangeably.

Citing more than a decade of research into successes and failures of business technology initiatives around the world,THE POWER OF CONVERGENCE looks at Global 2000 corporations, small and midsize companies, government agencies, social enterprises, and other organizations to identify repeatable management practices that your business must adopt to maximize strategic opportunities. Using the author’s proprietary Business Technology Management (BTM) Framework, organizations will:

Replace trial-and-error business technology models with strategically grounded approaches.

Unify decision making across all leadership and project teams.

Institutionalize collaborative management behaviors and organizational constructs.

Examine value indicators through a variety of financial indices.

Realize substantial improvements in execution, risk control, and profitability.

Access guidelines and methods to progress toward a superior future state.

From the dotcom bust to legendary failures in the manufacturing, service, financial, government, and other sectors, the global business landscape is littered with the shells of once-promising enterprises that failed to acknowledge the importance of business technology convergence – and to leverage its incredible potential. With compelling examples from Ford Motor Co., Apple, Inc., the FBI, Airbus, Symantec, and dozens of others, THE POWER OF CONVERGENCE provides the rationale, framework, and mechanisms for uniting your organization’s business and technology strategies to drive your enterprise toward the future.
