• What is the frame (beliefs, prejudices, experience) that determines what we see?
• How do the figures interact (aptitudes and competences)?
• What is the role of technology (in this case technology) : to do it for us,? tell us what to do? to provoke discussion?
• What determines the horizon (one, two or three point perspective of how we measure progress in moving forward)?
This visual exercise will explore your perspective on how IT can impact organizational performance

IT Doesn’t Matter
• Nicolas Carr compares IT to previous tech revolutions such as railroads and electricity. In what ways is IT different?
• What proof can you offer that information technology in business no longer provides competitive advantage?
• Does the pervasiveness of IT mean there will be less innovation now?
• Hasn't competitive advantage come from unique use of the technology, not just from the technology itself? What examples can you give?
• Do recent advances in Cloud Computing and Mobile Applications confirm or contradict Nicolas Carr's claims?

Trends in the workplace
• Economic transformation: The transformation from a manufacturing-based economy to a services-based economy now underway throughout the developed world will accelerate.
• One World of Business. Political and economic dynamics are forging a single global market, a global workforce, global customers, partners, and suppliers.
• Always On, Always Connected. The challenges of the “always on, always connected” world will be converting information into insights; managing time and staying focused on high priority tasks
• The Transparent Organization. The systems that make organizations more agile also make them more accountable.
• NetGen Meets Baby Boom. Workers who will be delivering the innovations and productivity growth of tomorrow, this technology not only won’t come as a surprise, it will be a positive expectation.
• Competing for Talent in a Shrinking Workforce: Because demographics show an aging, shrinking workforce in most of the developed world over the next 50 years, maximizing the productivity of the workers that are available is critical.

Convergence?
• Globalization : the increasingly circulation of information across borders.
• Technical progression: the transformation of communication « atoms to bits »
• Economic integration: vertical and horizontal integration to profit from economies of scale
• Social innovation: human attempts to create new forms of expression
• Multitasking : individual efforts to use multiple communication platforms

Commoditisation
• Over the last 70 years we have repeatly seen proof of innovation in IT : the spreadsheet, the ERP system, Social Network Applications
• In the early days, companies created their own legacy systems to put these ideas into practice
• As the technologies matured, companies editors standardized these applications in the form of products.
• Inevitably these products become simple commodities

The defintion of information
• From an objective point of view, information refers to date in context that conveys meaning to an individual.
• From a subjective point of view, we could suggest that it’s the individual’s perspective of the data that implies meaning.
• Given these definitions what meaning do Wikileaks, Twitter, or Facebook have?

Structured data
• Structured data refers to data that cabn be easily represented in textual/numeric form and stored in a database.
• Structured data is often logically organized around a data model or data object.
• Such models permit companies to compare and aggregate data in databases, datamarts and data warehouses.

Non-structured data
• Data is considered « non-structured » if we can’t predefine its attributes and store it in a table or data base
• Examples of this kind of data include press clippings, videoclips, and songs
• In reality, this data isn’t « non-structured » - its just that its attributes involve « complex » relationships

Digital footprints and clickstreams
• Before the Web we assumed that our digital footprint was as ephemeral as a phone
• Clickstreams can provide a level of intelligence about how people use the Web
• Innovative companies have figured out how to deliver great Web-based services by divining clickstream patterns
• We have yet to aggregate the critical mass of clickstreams in a database of intentions
