IT is going through a bit of an existential crisis. This is because it has lost the trust of several key stakeholders, right from occupants of the C- Suite and even individual contributors. IT has also been increasingly designated, as an isolated, siloed corner of the company. Business and technology leaders now need to work together to bridge the gap between their respective domains. First of all, tech leaders can no longer afford to hide out in any particular part of the complex. The talent recruitment must be such, that their teams have a diverse set of cognitive individuals. This will also encourage cross- collaboration. The conversations within the team too must evolve form systems or networks, to business decisions, reinforcing the centrality of technology to all operations. The employees too need to be fully engaged and aligned to this principle.
