This panel of senior IT executives, analysts and thought leaders will debate, discuss and divulge the obvious and nor-so-obvious reasons why IT groups don’t work together to deliver seamless, transparent IT services to the business. Conflict may be inevitable, but a happy IT organization is always more productive for the business. Focused on doing what’s best for their silo rather then the business or IT holistically, our panel will offer wisdom and advice to IT managers on how to bring peace to the feuding IT factions and restores a sense of harmony around the IT “water cooler”. Let’s work to alleviate the tension now! All sides and groups must talk. Let’s start the conversation at the ITIM 2007 – you don’t want to miss the excitement and the banter – you might even learn something to take back with you!
