Predictions for the future of IT
IT
1. IT will physically contract
2. ITs boundaries will expand
8. Architecture and Design will be the key technology related roles
4. Commercials and Service management will be major IT functions
5. But these can be sourced externally too.
3. Services provided to the organisation will be at finer levels of specialisationBUT external broker providers will hide much of this
6. Data is the key asset to be protected over process
7. But this too could be hosted externally
WHAT’S THE NEXT BIG DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY?
Implications of the cloud
You're in
it!!!!
Well the answer is ...
The nature of disruption
Time
Performance
Performance improvement required by mainstream market
Current performance by potential disruptive technology
Expected trajectory of performance improvement
Joseph Bower & Clayton Christensen, HBR, 1995
Expected trajectory of performance offered by existing technology
The Disruptive Generation
“We’re not as many would say, in the information age, this is in fact the transitional period from industrial to information and this period has at least 20 more years to run. This period will be looked back on as one of those key transitions in human evolution whereby life will never be the same again.”
