33. Mindsets have shifted!
No one said it better than a C-level business executive from the travel and entertainment
industry:
“I do not want IT solutions to be just about
productivity and efficiency gains. If we are not
productive and efficient at this point, we are in
the wrong business.
I need my IT colleagues to be real business
partners and bring solutions that will enable our
company to win new business, convert more
prospects to customers, increase our market
share, and get into the new markets.
I need IT to be a true business partner, not a
cost centre.”
