Exciting Industry – We encourage you to share this with your team as you prepare and motivate them for the journey ahead.

There has never been a better time to be an IT professional. That’s right! While prognosticators have loudly predicted the demise of IT, we firmly believe there has never been a more exciting or auspicious time to be in this profession.

IT leaders all across the country are preparing their staffs and organizations for the next phase of IT’s evolution and a successful future. They are focused on “Developing the Human Side of Technology”, O&A’s tagline since 1984, and a mantra that has never been more important to IT than it is today.”

Though the last few years have been riddled with doubt, disappointment and discomfort, they also raised the awareness in most of the business world that technology can be a game-changer.

To remain viable, IT leaders need to proactively transform their organizations and cultures. In order to accomplish this, they need to develop an IT workforce that has the new mindset, skill set and tool set necessary for success, such as communicating, relationship-building, collaborating, managing change, marketing, negotiating and the like.

In our latest book, Leading IT Transformation: The Roadmap for Success, we outline this new “core” skill set in detail. Based on the phenomenal feedback we are receiving on the book we would like to share the first chapter with you titled: Creating your 21st Century Workforce and Culture

The book covers the following:

• Building a Client-Focused IT Culture
• Evolving into the Role of Consultant
• Negotiating: Getting What You Want without Damaging the Relationship
• Managing Projects — the Science and the Art .
• Changing Your Requirements-Gathering Mindset
