Mark Patterson’s Summary

I am a cross-industry technology executive and consultant who focuses on helping clients use information technology effectively to achieve their business goals.

All companies are in one of the following conditions concerning IT:

1. IT is actively hindering the business.
2. IT is a non-factor in the business (i.e., it's plumbing).
3. IT is an effective tool in helping the business achieve its business goals.

I help businesses quickly get out of the first condition, move through the second condition, and move into the third condition where IT is being used effectively by the business.
