People who think a lot about where technology is taking us. Visionaries, talkers, savants: you decide.

Don Tapscott is a genuine guru on the world stage. Since the '80s when we worked together, Don has been explaining how computers and the internet have been driving innovation in business models. Today, no one can argue the case for Web 2.0 better.

TED - ideas worth spreading -  is great.

He's perhaps a bit out-there these days, but Kevin Kelly remains one of the people I listen to ever since I read "Out of Control" when it was published in 1994.

It's a fabrication that Britain doesn't make things any more

GETTING TO GRIPS WITH IT

Today, you can't deliver innovative business success if you are not harnessing the power of IT effectively. The trouble is, most Boards have not unlocked the the keys to the IT vault. They leave IT to the technicians. The result is that the real benefit of technology is simply left untapped. IT continues to be viewed as "the computer system", when in fact it's much, much more.

For example, today's novel information tool is Twitter, which is adding a new dimension - in marketing and sales reach, even in operations - to those organisations willing to explore. Yet Twitter is ultimately part of the IT conundrum that Boards must grapple with. Tomorrow it may be robots and nanotechnology that become part of everyday IT.

We understand how to work with Boards of companies to help them lose the fear of IT and become able, as a team, to really drive the IT agenda. To read about why this is so important look at the article "Corporate Governance of IT – Redesigning the Board’s role: from IT Management to Systemic Governance".

We are working with Infonomics, a leading Australian company in the field of Corporate Governance of IT, and, in May 2009, spoke with that firm at a recent conference on IT Governance organised by the British Standards Institution - the BSI Group.
