Overall, the context of I.T. today is often sub-optimal, when not counter-productive

Business Side

—  Limited to no knowledge in I.T. —  Uncomfortable with I.T. —  Fear of the unknown —  Distrust of I.T. —  Rarely a C-level topic —  Helpdesk mentality —  Viewed as relatively reliable, but not

innovative —  I.T. is expensive —  I.T. isn’t sexy socially

Information Technology Side

—  They don’t get it! —  Our budget are getting smaller to do

more and more —  Don’t have the resources (…to

recruit, reward and develop top talent)

—  Have little understanding of business (not ambidextrous)

—  Limited capacity to communicate

With maturity of I.T., platforms are made possible…

—  Stable —  Functionality resilient —  Standardization — Open technologies — Cost efficient — Quality —  Standards — More inter-operability

Peril n°5

Thinking the disruptors will forget you and that you are protected

—  The Google Car or Tesla symptom

—  Leveraging I.T. maturity along with leading-edge knowledge

—  New ways of organizing —  More focused funding —  Mutualization —  Specialization —  I.T. money and philosophy

into Auto ventures —  “Doing things differently”
