I was recently interviewed by the IT-Finance Connection to discuss some of the common issues facing business leaders when it comes to technology direction and strategy. We briefly hint at our Five Questions concept and how it can help start-up and growth companies better prepare for their futures. You can listen to the interview right here.

C-level executives have trouble understanding that they aren’t experts, that projects must scale and that a robust technical empire wasn’t built in a day. Bradman Group CEO Robert Bradman says a CIO must help them see this bigger picture. The good news is that once they do, these executives generally do what’s in the best strategic and tactical interests of the organization.

This not only serves as a good primer on what Bradman Group strives to deliver to its clients, but also as a good set of basic rules for successful IT management. We talk about the importance of viewing technology as an investment and how one measures its returns and of building your strategy as early as possible to maximize those returns.
