COMMENTARY: Senior managers, c-level executives, directors,
and boards, in fact all of industry's masters and commanders
who don't have the acumen to optimise their technology deployments
as strategic levers, are neglecting their responsibilities to
their shareholders, stakeholders, partners and staff.
