This is a slidedeck about a topic I already talk about for a while: Every company is affected by the economic darwinism, i.e. the companies that respond best to change will survive. And the IT is not a bland cost center, it is the neural system of every company. No IT, no business! Combining those two observations it becomes obvious that the responsiveness of the IT about new business features is a crucial survival factor in the long run - we are no longer talking about months or years for new business features, but about weeks or days. In this slide deck I explain why the approaches most IT departments are not helping (sometimes even being counter-productive) and which building blocks you have to implement in order to survive the economic darwinism. Some of the slides badly miss the audio track but the core ideas should become clear.

Let‘s start over …
Observation #1
Everyone is affected by economic darwinism
• All sectors
• Growing globalisation on all levels
• Internet business
• More competitors per customer
• Higher customer expectations
• Lower customer loyalty
In the long run only those will survive who
meet the customer needs and demands best
Observation #2
IT is vital
• All companies
• IT is not just supporter or „cost center “ …
• … but it is the central nervous system
• Even short IT outages considered critical
• No business change without IT
• No new products without IT
The importance of IT for today‘s companies
cannot be overestimated
Consequence
IT is a key success factor for belonging to
the survivors of the economic darwinism

Do you really think this is
the strategy to survive
the economic darwinism?
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
