In today’s podcast, the subject is the role of IT. Joining me today is Patrick Gray, author of the excellent book Breakthrough IT: Supercharging Organizational Value Through Technology. Patrick is also the CEO of the Prevoyance Group, a management consulting firm. His blog is located here.

Patrick answers questions such as:

• What inspired you to write Breakthrough IT?
• How does IT typically function in most organizations? What can it do better?
• Obviously not all of the onus lies with IT. What do business users need to do different?
• Talk to me about an IT project portfolio.
• Let’s talk about canceling IT projects. One of the things that I liked about the book is that you use this “investment model of IT projects.” When is it time to pull the plug on a project and what can people do to retrieve as much valuable as possible from a failed endeavor?
