Beyond IT: Strategies for Managing in a Global Knowledge Economy
Developed countries have mostly migrated from economies based upon manufacturing products to producing services—increasingly knowledge-based services. Now developing countries, led by China and India, are rapidly heading in the same direction. Every individual and every company that hopes to prosper in this new world must understand how to most effectively compete in the new global knowledge economy (GKE).
Beyond IT is a market strategy and consulting firm that helps companies manage the transition to a global knowledge economy by:
- Helping IT vendors identify and prioritize emerging GKE opportunities and challenges and leverage their existing skills into value propositions that transcend IT to deliver broader business value to their customers and clients; and
- Providing all companies with single-source access to emerging best practices around the requirements for managing workforces, innovation and corporate social responsibility in a GKE.
Through reports, webcasts, workshops and consulting, we:
- Identify the key components of a global knowledge economy and why GKE is becoming a business mandate for virtually all companies;
- Explain why IT vendors are so well positioned to capitalize in a GKE and how they can most effectively leverage the experience gained from their own GKE initiatives into new revenue streams and more strategic client relationships;
- Identify emerging trends and best practices that companies can utilize for building their own successful GKE strategies;
- Assess the new opportunities for capturing and deploying innovation in a GKE; and
- Examine how a global business needs to balance its business requirements with corporate social responsibility.
