McKinsey Quarterly Eight Business Technology Trends To Watch

A recent article at the McKinsey Quarterly "Eight business technology trends to watch" by James Manyika, Roger Roberts and Kara Sprague identified some trends that we as IT leaders need to be thinking about. The trends they identify are:

Managing Relationships

1. Distributing cocreation - use the Internet to collaborate
2. Using consumers as innovators - use "crowdsourcing"
3. Tapping into a world of talent - using the Net
4. Extracting more value from interactions - using technology

Managing Capital and Assets

5. Expanding the frontiers of automation
6. Unbundling production from delivery - use technology to make our fixed assets into reusable components

Leveraging Information in New Ways

7. Putting more science into management - more data-based decisions
8. Making businesses from information - from new markets.
