“High-level Information Technology is fundamental to give the customer value for money, as it enables companies to offer high-quality products and services that are easy to understand and that are easily accessible. To achieve this, IT has to be fully integrated into the value chain from the customer to the back office. Knowledge and awareness of IT throughout the company is therefore crucial. The IT Awareness sessions of Peter Hinssen provide an excellent format to this end."
Michel Tilmant, CEO of ING

Peter Hinssen is the author of:

  • Business/IT Fusion. How to move beyond Alignment and transform IT your organization.
    A practical guide to a new IT, December 2008
    www.it-fusion.com 
  • Ten things you wish your mother had told you about IT, new edition May 2009.

“Think back to how many times you’ve been invited to listen to a big corporation CIO or CTO talk about the need to “align IT with business.”  Now try to remember how many concrete, do-it-right-away ideas you came away with. Not so many, eh? Perhaps it’s because for the last five years we’ve been talking about IT using the wrong word.  Forget alignment.  Peter Hinssen has proposed a better, more accurate word -- fusion.  IT not only needs to learn how to think like business and talk like business, it needs to BE the business -- and Peter Hinssen is the right teacher to show you how.  If I had to sum up Peter’s book in one sentence? I’d say, “I bet that before you’ve even finished this book, you’re going to call a meeting to start brainstorming with your staff.”  It’s that good."
