This blog serves as a means to educate and discuss technique, issues, and need for communicating how technology is used to improve today's businesses. Here I'll share practical information on to improve communication skills and deliverables so that you can more effectively explain how you or your business is using technology to improve revenues, streamline production, and/or reduce liability.

Blending Business, Technology, and Communication Skills

In the January 3rd issue of Computerworld, twelve Premier 100 IT Leaders shared their advice for getting ahead in the IT field. Consistently two themes were cited:
- integrate your business knowledge with technology skills, and
- improve your communication skills.

Having directly supported the communication needs of two Premier 100 IT Leaders, I know first hand how much truth is in this advice. Everyday, business needs to know that their technologist understand the practical business challenges. Business doesn't need technology per se. Business needs the results that technology can produce. Our job is to communicate what these results are when explaining the technology being proposed or used.
