In this article published in Computerworld, Center member, Paul Ingevaldson, retired CIO of ACE Hardware and frequent contributor to the IT dialog, points to the importance of educating your users about IT and their role in the system development process. |
In an earlier article, "Top 10 qualities of a great IT shop," Ingevaldson provides an overview of the top ten best practices of an IT department.
Together, these articles point to the importance of taking an objective look at the position and strength of your IT department within the larger organizational context and carefully building the IT team to deliver on its value.
