The I/S leader as 'innovator'

A number of challenges are facing senior information systems (I/S) executives, among them the demand to function as innovators and to promote creativity within their respective organizations. The authors present a model of I/S leadership which posits four key roles-technologist, manager, innovator and strategist-and focus attention on the particular role of innovator. They further discuss the conditions that facilitate I/S innovation and the role of the I/S leader in championing the reengineering of business processes.<
