Making leaders in technology
Filed in archive Information Technology Education by mstandaert on April 08, 2005
From Technology Review, this story on education for technology leaders.
The certainty
of lightning-quick change is one of the few things CIOs can count on in the enterprise today. For most corporate IT executives, the past few years have only continued the nearly wholesale renovation of how businesses continue to communicate, innovate, and bring products to market. Global economies continue to adjust to the chaos and confusion of todays world, while the U.S. economy slowly marches back from a technology meltdown that began four years ago.
In response, companies are only slowly loosening the purse strings of IT spending. Although budgets are up slightly, according to CIO magazines State of the CIO 2004 survey, CIOs once again rated cost control and increasing business efficiencies as top priorities.
But in spite of the continuing uncertainty and chaos, the drumbeat of business goes on. Companies continue to build and market new products, while new services remain competitive and innovative, and organizations reach out and connect to partners, customers, and employees in new and creative ways.
