Panel Discussion: How Your IT Culture Affects Your Ability to Innovate
IT is caught in an interesting paradox in today's world.
- Keep all data, systems, safe, secure, stable, and operating at low cost.
- Accelerate innovation so that the business is more responsive and agile, and more profitable.
Many good IT leaders take time to craft a strategy to address this paradox, yet often overlook the critical impact of their IT culture on that strategy. Peter Drucker is alleged to have said: "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." What does that mean, and why is it important?
In this session the panel, and audience, will consider:
- What is an IT innovation culture?
- How does culture emerge and change?
- What are the essential characteristics of an innovation-healthy IT culture?
- How can IT leaders and teams foster an innovation-centric culture?
- What are the benefits of adopting an innovation-centric culture?
