Managing IT Innovation: Spotting the Next Big Thing

Few areas of business have produced as many surprises as has IT. If we look back over the past 40 years or so, we see an accelerating pattern of advance, driven by Moore's Law, in which technologies rise, propagate, and are then eclipsed by new and better technologies.

New Year's Resolutions for the Project Manager

The start of a new year is often the time to think about change -- as evidenced by the tradition of New Year's resolutions. Some people make too many and keep none; others, having burned themselves in the past, resolve not to make any and unintentionally fail.

Project Management: Facing and Engaging in Reality

In this issue of Cutter Benchmark Review, we turn to a topic discussed previously in November 2008 (Vol. 8, No. 11) and July 2007 (Vol. 7, No. 7): project management. As readers of CBR know, we get our inspiration and ideas for topics from two sources. First, we get inspiration from current events, new trends, new technologies, and generally from being aware and plugged into what is going on in the world of IT. At the same time, we maintain a constant ear to the ground and stick with a reality check by being attentive and responsive to the Cutter Consortium client base. We pay close attention to the kinds of jobs that Cutter Consortium Senior Consultants are bidding for and working on. We also monitor the types of requests that Cutter clients make and we apply firsthand research at Cutter Summits held across the globe.

Strategic IT Planning: Making the Most of Limited (and Valuable!) Resources

In this issue of CBR, we set out to examine the ways in which strategic IT planning influences the value that IT delivers to the organization, as well as the degree to which the planning process is perceived to affect organizational outcomes and results. With this focus, we can both benchmark the planning process itself and, at the same time, tackle the question of its relationship to IT value. Given the current and ongoing economic struggles facing businesses both large and small around the world, this seemed like an excellent time to discuss the value of strategic IT planning.
