Manage Tactically & Strategically • We never have the time to think strategically • Remember IT does not drive the strategic vision of the department • The “CIO” should think strategically • Think of long range impact of a technical decision
Organizational Philosophy • Technology at the table • Software guru - knows thetechnical side and the business side inside out • Use the software • Hardware becomes less important • Business analyst – might be more appropriate • Developers • Power users
Our Philosophy Technology is best when it is invisible
