Creating and Managing the Agile Enterprise
Gabe Piccoli, Editor
This month we take a break from our focus on IT innovation and its many facets and return to basics. Perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of life in the IT business is the difficulty we often face in selling projects internally to the organization. There are many reasons for this difficulty. In the collective mindset, the "IT guy" is seen as a person with questionable social skills who is much more comfortable in front of a computer than an audience -- especially an executive audience speaking a blend of marketing, finance, and strategy mumbo jumbo.
The Business Value of Customer Data
by Gabriele Piccoli
This issue focuses on the management of the agile enterprise and on understanding how organizations can facilitate and foster agile practices through investments in IT infrastructure and technology practices. As such, the survey our contributors crafted tackles issues of strategy, relative positioning and competition, as well as technology infrastructure, software development methodologies, and IT architecture.
