 Predicting the future always entails risk. But here's one prediction with no risk involved:
The future of information work requires deep collaboration between information services and IT experts.
This perspective was tested and validated in our recently completed Research Focus, "Strategic Alignment of IS and IT".
Depending on the state of your relationship with your IT department today, this view of the future may feel challenging... or even impossible. But our research findings demonstrate the practical, immediate and specific actions you can take to move that relationship in the right direction.
You have access to our Insights and Actions report which covers these actions:
- Day-to-day interactions you have with the helpdesk
- Improved project definition and implementation
- Development of closer connections at the strategic level.
You may not be able to tackle all three levels, but you can start somewhere to improve the collaborative future.
What's at stake?
- Your own team's resilience and relevance as information experts with valuable insight to support your organisation's objectives
- Improved and even optimised workflow for any interactions with the IT department (can you believe it?)
- Your influence on shaping the future of information, bringing together sources, technology and value in ways that make the most of opportunities while recognising and reducing the not-insubstantial risks.
Start building that future with the insights developed in "Strategic Alignment of IS and IT".
Access the Insights and Actions Report today to create your plan, supported with an indexed guide to all content published during the Research Focus.
