IDC PlanScape: Change Leadership to Influence LOB Executives
This IDC PlanScape describes specific things IT leaders can do to develop and increase their change leadership with LOB leaders. "IT leaders who seize this opportunity will serve their organizations well. IT leaders who do not will hurt their organizations and their roles will diminish as LOB leaders pursue what they believe will best meet their 'local' and immediate needs," says Niel Nickolaisen, adjunct research advisor for IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP). "This minimizes the full impact of technology choices and investments and creates complexity that builds barriers to agility and operational excellence."
