Because digital and information technology (IT) has become a more
significant part of strategic advantage and workplace operations,
information systems personnel have become a key to the success of
corporate enterprises particular with the pursuit to becoming more
“digital.” This book focuses on the vital role that technology
must play in the course of organizational development and learning
and on the growing need to integrate technology, particularly
digital technology, fully into the culture of all organizations.
Fundamentally this 4th Edition takes an even stronger position than
the previous editions, that organizational learning is crucial to
the success of what has been coined “digital transformation.”
Indeed, the definition of what defines who are technology personnel
is far more complex. Companies are struggling to understand what it
means to “be digital.”. Their technology personnel go far
beyond the tradition IT staff into areas such as artificial
intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and natural language
processing (NL). These three functions now fall under the auspices
of “data science” which is now at the center of allowing
companies to become more data dominant as a necessity for survival.
While traditional IT personnel have long been criticized for their
inability to function as part of the business, they are now vital
to assist in the leadership of digital transformation. It could be
costly error to underestimate the technical skills needed by IT
staff to ensure digital transformation. In fact, subsequent
chapters will highlight the technical challenges needed to build
new architectures based on 5G, Blockchain, Cloud computing, and
eventually Quantum processing. The challenge then is to integrate
business and technical IT staff via Cultural Assimilation, and to
Strategically Integrate advance computing architectures. The 4th
Edition includes new topics such as the future of work that
addresses the challenges of assimilating multiple generations of
employees and how to establish working cultures that are more
resilient and adaptive and can be configured as a platform driven
by data assets.
Focusing on the critical role IT plays in organizational
development, the book shows how to employ action learning to
improve the competitiveness of an organization. Defining the
current IT problem from an operational and strategic perspective,
it presents a collection of case studies that illustrate key
learning issues. It details a dynamic model for effective IT
management through adaptive learning techniques-supplying proven
educational theories and practices to foster the required changes
in your staff. It examines existing organizational learning
theories and the historical problems that occurred with companies
that have used them, as well as those that have failed to use them.

This book provides a detailed "how-to" guide, addressing aspects
ranging from analysis and design to the implementation of
applications, which need to be integrated within legacy
applications and databases. The analysis and design of the next
generation of software architectures must address the new
requirements to accommodate the Internet of things (IoT),
cybersecurity, blockchain networks, cloud, and quantum computer
technologies. As 5G wireless increasingly establishes itself over
the next few years, moving legacy applications into these new
architectures will be critical for companies to compete in a
consumer-driven and social media-based economy. Few organizations,
however, understand the challenges and complexities of moving from
a central database legacy architecture to a ledger and networked
environment. The challenge is not limited to just designing new
software applications. Indeed, the next generation needs to
function more independently on various devices, and on more diverse
and wireless-centric networks. Furthermore, databases must be
broken down into linked list-based blockchain architectures, which
will involve analytic decisions regarding which portions of data
and metadata will be processed within the chain, and which ones
will be dependent on cloud systems. Finally, the collection of all
data throughout these vast networks will need to be aggregated and
used for predictive analysis across a variety of competitive
business applications in a secured environment. Certainly not an
easy task for any analyst/designer! Many organizations will
continue to use packaged products and open-source applications.
These third-party products will need to be integrated into the new
architecture paradigms and have seamless data aggregation
capabilities, while maintaining the necessary cyber compliances.
The book also clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of the
stakeholders involved, including the IT departments, users,
executive sponsors, and third-party vendors. The book's structure
also provides a step-by-step method to help ensure a higher rate of
success in the context of re-engineering existing applications and
databases, as well as selecting third-party products, conversion
methods and cybercontrols. It was written for use by a broad
audience, including IT developers, software engineers, application
vendors, business line managers, and executives.

Successfully navigate the changing face of the CIO role Strategic
Information Technology offers CIOs a handbook for engaging with the
senior management conversations surrounding strategy. The CIO role
is currently undergoing a massive transition from
technology-focused expert to a more strategic mindset, and this
book provides proven methods for taking your seat at the table.
Lessons from high-performing CIOs and a wealth of leading-edge
insight provide invaluable guidance for positioning technology as a
strategic driver across the business, while a focus on building the
necessary connections--for example, an alliance between IT and
HR--provide a multimodal approach to navigating the transition. The
evolution of the CIO's role involves more than simply technical
knowledge; the new CIO must be an influencer, an engager, and just
as adept at the soft skills that become increasingly crucial as you
climb the management ladder. It's about changing mindsets,
translating hard skills into strategic advantages, and
demonstrating IT's value to the strategic decision making process.
This book provides best practices, illustrative examples, and
up-to-date perspective for CIOs wanting to: Position IT as a
critical driver of overall strategy Build on functional expertise
with strategic insight Learn from the stories of successful
tech-to-strategy transformations Engage C-Suite peers in shaping
the strategic conversation Not long ago, the CIO occupied a unique
place in the C-Suite. Executive by title, CIOs have nevertheless
been seen as predominantly the "chief tech expert" with little
input into strategy, as IT has historically been regarded as a tool
rather than a source of competitive advantage. The truth is
becoming increasingly apparent, with companies around the world
turning to technology in order to gain a competitive edge, and CIOs
are beginning to claim their place in strategy discussions.
Strategic Information Technology offers much needed guidance for a
successful transformation.
