IT Implementation

Who?

I’ve learned a lot about IT Business Systems. How we communicate to internal and external teams is imperative to any business success. We learned from the CIO Case Study that great leaders learn the jargon and then seek out their experts to create the best teams, but knowing enough to contribute and facilitate action among those teams is my goal moving forward. My work requires a lot of communication internally between IT departments and various business areas.

What?

The struggle is real. The communication gaps area obvious. The goals are not always concrete. Ambiguity is high and team frustration can follow. My goal from this course is to take my previous experience and current systems understanding to be a better liaison between teams for my department and company as a whole to make us all better.

When?

Yesterday. The saying that time is money is a saying because it is true. I already have an opportunity to speak with my internal IT teams to create a business case for the potential usefulness of a business system program Thomas showed the class last Saturday. I am hopeful the more tools and resources I can show add value, the more time and money we can save.

Where?
Company wide impact can always be improved with better processes, less manual work, and more effective communication. My current and future job does and will likely continue to require multiple skill-sets. As we become business managers and leaders, our responsibility lists and teams that depend on our knowledge and education are only going to grow. That’s the point of learning: to do more, to be more, to continuously improve.

Why?
There is always a better way. There is always competition. To not get left behind in the space, medicine, technology worlds, we must always be looking and asking how we can improve.
