IT Evolution
Education Institutions as well as Businesses, especially IT businesses,
are in the throes of exponential Change – change that is impacting
the dimension & frequency of knowledge & technology obsolescence.
Result :
“Today’s knowledge is tomorrow’s ignorance”
“Intellectual property has the shelf-life of a banana”
At the same time, IT businesses are focused on moving up the value
chain and providing comprehensive services tailored to meet the
needs of major global enterprises. This continual metamorphosis
calls for the creation of new customers, new opportunities, new
type of alliances and new products. Industry need for multifaceted,
domain specific IT professionals who will be required to bring about
this transformation is increasing every day.
This phenomenon is driving both the key players (a) institutions
of higher education and (b) businesses to come together in remodeling
the processes by which they can develop joint programs to
Evolve their "knowledge" systems at rates
greater than or at least equal to the rate of such Change.
Make continual improvement in their mechanisms,
structures, processes & practices so as to create more sustainable
learning systems.
