Innovation is an overused term, I agree. True innovation are products and services that change the way an industry does business, however, business growth through new services and products are now more than ever dependent upon technology. As you can see from this recent survey business is relying on IT to support business growth.
Growth is dependent upon automation of the routine to free resources to move from “Bulb Monitor” roles to service providers and more agile to deploy and manage new services that will use new technologies to drive business growth. Operationally, IT must rethink how to take advantage of technology to not only deploy new technologies, but also how to free themselves from the routine tasks too.
I’ve seen and posted many of these articles already this year and look forward to the story of an organization who is putting it into action and moving from “Bulb Monitor” to the fuel for growth.

A new survey from SAP suggests that IT budgets should be focused on innovation – but, as Gary Flood asks, is that enough?
Innovation. It’s both a very trendy but also much abused term at the moment in IT. And maybe we’d have a better idea of what it actually means – and what it could contribute? – if we were given a chance to do some of it.
