Technology Trends, leading CTOs and CIOs discuss staying abreast of trends, increasing productivity, and “greening” information technology (IT). These top technology executives provide an insider's perspective on identifying, assessing, and harnessing the power of today's most important trends in IT. The book presents best practices for anticipating industry changes, separating fact from fiction, and differentiating worthwhile trends from hype. It also explains how to discern between a leading-edge and a bleeding-edge trend, and whether your company should be the first to adopt it. From hiring top talent to communicating changes to nontechnical staff, the authors outline the critical role employees play in implementing trends.
