Socializing information technology

Businesses and governments must work together to manage the tremendous change information technologies are bringing to society today. Crucial to successful change management is a strong emphasis on education.

Governments must match the pace of change currently occurring in the world of information technology and e-commerce. But unlike businesses, governments are hindered in their ability to manage and lead change. Long-term strategies are forsaken in favour of short-term frameworks which yield measurable outcomes. Businesses must join forces with governments to help explain and promote long-term policies to affected populations.
