Summary:Technology is being used to disrupt and reinvent markets, products and services. Disruptive technologies such as cloud, social and mobile are opening up a world of new possibilities for the digital business. However, with these developments comes new pressures for IT; technology is now more accessible to non-IT staff, awareness and knowledge of its application within the enterprise has never been higher and, as a result, expectations about what can be achieved are higher too. CIOs and IT functions are struggling to cope with these changes and risk being bypassed as a result. Shadow IT is growing and an increasing proportion of the organisation's technology expenditure is held outside of the IT function. These factors are driving the need for a new model for IT; another significant step in the evolution of the CIO role and the IT function. In Disrupt IT, Ian Cox draws on his experience as a CIO and as a consultant working with organisations to transform their IT functions to define a model for IT that meets the needs of the digital business. He also identifies seven principles that provide CIOs and Boards with a framework for building the IT capability their organisation needs to succeed in the digital age.
