IT is typecast by other employees as a bastion of geeks who are a culture apart. IT professionals, for their part, often characterize business folk, especially those in sales and marketing, as brutish and disingenuous.\nFor others, culture is not a factor. For them, the demands on both sides of the fence pit teams against one another. Business folks need things done ASAP in order to conduct their roles, while IT is beset with the burden of doing more with less and is barely able to keep up with the high demands of simply keeping systems running.\nStill others believe that something more nefarious is in play, that IT’s main role is "command and control," and that it uses governance to be the team that always says no.\nEach of these perspectives has both kernels of truth and heaps of exaggeration. But no matter the cause of this divide, we know one thing for sure: it persists, and it creates inefficiencies in the organization.\nIn this presentation, attendees will learn:\n\n    How do we approach this singularity and banish the schismatic behavior that marks the broken conversation between IT and business? \n    How do we help create the foundation for allowing business to self-service and self-discover information while adhering to strict rules about rights, governance, and security?\n    How do we recognize that these issues impede progress and reduce agility?\n    How do we work with the other side to find solutions that simultaneously enable and liberate? \n    How do we avoid the trap of sticking to the current way of doing things and believing a solution will emerge from the very circumstances that created it?\n\nReducing the schism between business and IT is paramount if the organization is to gain agility. Put differently, the more business and IT converge, the better chance an organization has to be innovative and fleet-footed.
