Attention Business Owners and Decision Makers: Leveraging your IT in a downturn economy

There is a great (and brief! about 13 minutes!) podcast up at Harvard Business School's website right now. It's an interview with Ann Livermore, executive vice president, Technology Solutions Group, Hewlett-Packard. She talks about aligning your business strategy with your IT planning.

In the interview she underscores the importance of investing in IT to create more efficiencies in your business. Studies from the previous recession showed that 40% of all companies in the top quartile lost their leadership position during the recession. She goes on to say that how a business approaches the leveraging of their IT can affect potential losses in a major way.

Just another piece of evidence illustrating that:

1. Technology is not going away.
2. In fact, it's only going to become more vital to running your business.
3. You need to align your IT growth with your strategic business growth. Their successes are not mutually exclusive.
