Let’s begin this analysis by acknowledging that plenty of not-so-great news is floating around. Just today, the Fed raised its benchmark rate by 75 basis points — the largest increase since 1994. Even the rosiest reading shows inflation up by over 8%. At the same time, recessionary threats are looming, with Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, just two weeks ago warning of a coming “economic hurricane.”

You always know it when you meet someone who has a two or three-year-old at home. They’re easy to spot because they always have this exasperated look on their face.
The source of this exasperation is the never-ceasing series of one-word daggers to the heart: “Why?”
Young children have an insatiable curiosity, which results in them turning to the people whom they see as the fonts of all wisdom — their parents — for explanations on how everything works.

Performance-driven IT: How Metrics can transform IT services and operations
TSO
February 19, 2018
Performance-driven IT forces you to rethink how we use the data that we are swamped with every day. ‘Too much information’ is a common cry in business and this title makes a compelling case for reviewing available data sets. Those that are maintained need to be acted on to refocus the organization on the required strategic outcomes along the way, so that the metrics used to measure and manage performance become dynamic. Running IT is not what it used to be. That’s true in both the good and the bad sense. The days of running IT by the ‘seat of your pants’ with your army of heroes dashing from one fire to the next are long gone.
The Ecosystem Advantage: How to Build the Digital Ecosystem That Will Help You Win in the Digital Era
Institute for Digital Transformation
October 16, 2016
IT as we know it may be dead, but it’s future success in creating competitive advantage will come down to one thing: creating a digital ecosystem.
The changes that Charles Araujo described in his best selling book, The Quantum Age of IT: Why Everything You Know About IT is About to Change, are well underway. As an IT leader, you see the changes occurring at an alarmingly increasing rate.
You need to guide your organization through this period of disruption and confidently into the future. You need to find opportunity amid the chaos. But how?
In The Ecosystem Advantage, Araujo explains why the answer is to build a “digital ecosystem” that will power IT into this future.
Based on interviews and insights from senior IT executives across a wide range of industries, Araujo explains that while “cloud” is a significant part of both the disruption and the solution, the true answer to creating competitive advantage is not found in “cloud”, “hybrid” or any other trendy buzzwords flying around the IT industry.
Creating meaningful business advantage occurs only when IT leaders build and nurture complex digital ecosystems that deliver the speed, agility and integration that the modern Digital Enterprise requires. This means more than just changing your approach to technology - it demands organizational and cultural changes as well.
In this concise “micro book”, Araujo explains the real role that cloud will play in your future, the essence of the modern digital ecosystem and how to put your organization on the path toward creating an Ecosystem Advantage.
