Seminar: Six IT Decisions IT People Shouldn’t Make Alone
http://billboard.anu.edu.au/event_view.asp?id=16377
Many companies are disappointed in the weak returns – and in some cases outright losses – from their IT investments. Professor Peter Weill holds that IT management should not be left alone to make the choices that determine the impact of IT on a company’s business strategy.
He will discuss six decisions on business processes, spending and strategy most crucial to IT success, and will describe how successful American enterprises such as United Parcel Service (UPS), State Street Corporation and others make these decisions effectively.
Professor Peter Weill is an expatriate Australian and the Foundation Professor and Chair of Management (Information Systems) at the Melbourne Business School.
His research centre at the MIT Sloan School of Management is funded by fifty corporate sponsors and patrons. The centre undertakes practical research on how firms generate business value from IT.
Weil has co-authored bestselling books such as IT Governance: How Top Performers Manage IT Decision Rights for Superior Results (Harvard Business School Press 2004), Leveraging the New Infrastructure: How Market Leaders Capitalize on Information Technology (HBS Press 1998) and Place to Space: Migrating to eBusiness Models (HBS Press 2001), which won one of the Library Journal of America’s best business book of the year awards.
