Can many people really say that IT is being used effectively in most organisations ?
Almost every one I have worked in use haphazard methods, unnecessary manual input and duplication of input, outdated forecasting, bad choice of software tools (e.g. spreadsheet heavy) ... the list goes on of small day to day things that add up.
There was a recent story about 90% of people not even knowing about Ctrl-F to search documents.
Think about all the times you've had images sent in Word documents or crappy artwork you've had to re-create by hand because the only copy of the logo was a 400px jpg.
Multiply the time wasted on those things by a few hundred million.
Now tell me there's no productivity to find, and we haven't even got on to your actual business processes.
