Managing Inherent Technical Isolation : A Strategic Approach to Streamlining and Accelerating Leadership and Technology Development within Organizations

In the current business environment, many companies consciously or subconsciously practice a culture of inherent technical isolation (ITI). ITI exists when businesses and IT leaders in particular consistently provide preferential treatment to team members in their organizations on the basis of technical versus nontechnical competency. This book is written to not only draw attention to the ITI culture but to also promote an inclusive management practice that would eventually make the culture extinct. Essentially, the book seeks to promote a new business and technology management culture void of inherent technical isolation practices.
