Six IT decisions IT people shouldn't make alone

Many companies are disappointed in the weak returns - and in some cases outright losses - from their IT investments. Professor Peter Weill holds that IT management should not be left alone to make the choices that determine the impact of IT on a company's business strategy.

He will discuss six decisions on business processes, spending and strategy most crucial to IT success, and will describe how successful American enterprises such as United Parcel Service (UPS), State Street Corporation and others make these decisions effectively.
