Here we are at the end of the semester. We have discussed so many topics, and studies cases of a number of companies in order to address their deficiencies and make recommendations in order to meet their needs. One major takeaway for me is the Business process re-engineering versus the more incremental and small scale redesign process. This is something that we can all apply directly as IT execs or just as managers. I will take these lessons with me and hopefully apply them for positive outcomes.
As we look back on the lessons learned this semester, I would like to ask that you all apply them to a scenario for me as a parting gift. IT is not as widespread as could be across the globe till date. Not everyone has access to the internet and the immense possibilities it holds. How do we encourage the spread of technology and jump start the use of technology in order to tap into the potential of the developing world?
I think it will take some entrepreneur to bring the internet to the developing world. Then, along with the help of that country's government, will internet be available to people widespread. Infrastructure has to be put in place, from cables to wireless points need to be installed and built up to be reliable. Plus people need to be given access through a computer or smart phone type device, it will take someone with a little bit of creativity to build a device that will be available to people. It can be done, and once the process is started I think it will take off.
