THE NEW TECHNOLOGY PARADIGM heralds an explosive new shift in the fast-changing world of information technology-a shift in which IT is used as a powerful new force to drive top-line sales, open new markets, solidify customer loyalty, and create a more productive work place. Boldly stating that interpersonal skills are just as important as technical expertise, author Steve Romeo makes a business case for transforming IT by awakening our latent passion for what we do, having the courage to communicate openly, and creating an environment of collaboration in which everyone's contribution is honored. More important, he tells us just how to do it: How to overcome the communication gap between IT, and management; how to build trust, rapport, and a common language; how to muster the courage to challenge the status quo; and even how we can use "green" IT to help the environment and improve bottom-line sales and savings. Peppered with suggestions, exercises, and inspiring, real-world examples, the book is written in a simple and accessible style for IT professionals, businesspeople, students of IT, and anyone else who is interested in surfing the exciting new wave that is washing over the IT world.
