December 2007, 4 pages
Interview by: Alistair Craven
Richard Hunter is Vice President and Research Director in Gartner Executive Programs (EXP), where his recent work has focused on information security, managing external business relationships and risk management.
George Westerman is a Research Scientist at the MIT Sloan School's Center for Information Systems Research. He studies two aspects of managing technology, namely risk and organizational change.
According to Hunter & Westerman’s new book, traditionally, managers have grouped technology risk and funding into silos. The authors set out to provide a new model for integrated risk management, which identifies three core areas you can develop to eliminate the problems that silo strategies create. The authors also offer specific ways to make the most of your newfound advantage.
