I read the HBR article by Nicholas Carr “IT Doesn’t Matter” sometime in November 2006. I was appalled by Carr’s half baked conclusion about IT’s irrelevance to corporate strategy. I guess I have been working in the field of IT for past 14 years and clearly understand how IT can be leveraged to create and sustain competitive advantage.
I poked around on Internet to see if anyone is blogging or writing about IT Strategy that contradicts Nicholas Carr’s view. I did find a few but they were all from Magazine writers, professors and other academic type. But I found no blog about IT Strategy written by someone from the trenches, someone who is involved in ‘expanding economic moat’ for the corporation using IT, someone who is making ‘IT matter’. Hence, this blog was born. My goal is to blog on how IT can enable corporate and business strategy. My aim is to challenge Nicholas Carr’s perspective (BTW, in my blogroll, I have a link Carr’s blog). I will also blog on emerging technology and globalization.
Read my first blog IT Does Matter.
