The University of Akron: CITE - Center for Information Technologies and eBusiness

Next ITEE Meeting will discuss the topic:

"Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger: Learning from Our Best and Worst IT practices"

Every IT/IS organization has some IT processes that they are particularly proud of, and others they would like to (relatively speaking) sweep under the carpet. In this working session, ITEE members will share their best and worst IT practices to enlighten, inform, assist, and amuse the participants. The meeting will be held on March 26, 2010. Please visit IT Executive Exchange page for details.

ITEE Board Members discuss the topic "Managing IT Innovation"

This session of ITEE addressed how companies are using IT to encourage innovation in their organizations. Are innovations brought to the business from the IT side, or does the business side tell IT what to do? How do firms ensure that they are not missing important new technologies? Who is responsible for defining the benefits that are supposed to come from the innovations, and who follows up to make sure they are realized? The meeting was held on January 22, 2010. Please visit IT Executive Exchange page for details.
