Titelbeschreibung

Supercharge your organization's capacity for innovation The greatest untapped asset in an enterprise today is the ingenuity of its people. Dive into a future of work where technology empowers everyone to be a creator and builder with All Hands on Tech: The Citizen Revolution in Business Technology. This pivotal book offers a comprehensive look into the role of citizen developers—business domain experts who are driving IT-enabled innovation using technology previously reserved for professional technologists. Through case studies of citizens and citizen-enabled enterprises, the authors demonstrate how emerging technology bestows unprecedented power on these individuals and unprecedented value on the organizations that channel their efforts. They outline a transformative approach to citizen development that not only enhances companies' innovative capacity via the empowerment of domain experts, but also minimizes risk and liberates IT departments to pursue more strategic initiatives. All Hands on Tech describes a revolution in work—powered by technology becoming more human and humans becoming more comfortable with technology. This convergence provides a clear pathway for enterprises to leverage the on-the-ground experience and insight of all employees. The authors provide diverse examples of companies that have aligned the work of their citizen developers with wider organizational goals across citizen data science, automation, and development projects. These examples demonstrate why and how to commit to the citizen revolution in your organization. In the book, you'll: <ul> <li>Discover the untapped potential of citizen developers to revolutionize business operations with technology democratization</li> <li>Find a practical framework for integrating citizen development into a broader corporate digital and data strategy, while controlling risk</li> <li>Explore a forward-thinking approach to redefining the roles of all hands in an enterprise, empowering them to turn ideas into applications, automations, and analytical/AI models</li> </ul> For business leaders, executives, managers, and IT professionals looking to harness the full potential of their front-line employees and redefine the landscape of IT work, All Hands on Tech is a must-have resource. For business domain specialists and those eager to turn ideas into action, the citizen revolution democratizes information technology and empowers you to lead your organization towards a more innovative and efficient future. For subject matter experts, domain specialists, and those eager to put their ideas to work while also future-proofing their careers with invaluable skills, the citizen revolution ushers in an entirely new way of working.

Humans are becoming more technical, and technology is becoming more human. The world of work will never be the same. Praise for ALL HANDS ON TECH “My research and consulting suggests that democratization of IT development is a powerful tool to help companies digitize their operations. This book is a great addition to the sparse literature on the citizen development topic.” — MARCO IANSITI, Harvard Business School Professor, Founder of Keystone.AI, and Author of Competing in the Age of AI “The democratization of digital and data is a crucial trend that no company can afford to overlook. As developments in digital technology and AI continue to unfold, this trend will only gain further significance. All Hands on Tech offers a comprehensive overview of the field, along with practical advice and valuable insights on how to leverage these exciting advancements.” — NILS KAPPEYNE, VP, Architecture & Data at Shell (formerly VP DIY Software Development at Shell) “There is much talk on how application development will be transformed with Generative AI—the no-code, low-code, and traditional coding communities are all abuzz with how the future will be disruptive. Organizations that engage many of their employees in digital transformation will be more successful than those that rely solely on the IT function to do everything. This book is a well-documented and well-grounded guide to enabling digital transformation with ‘citizen development.’ If you want that broad engagement by ‘citizens’—and you should—this book is an effective guide.” — USAMA FAYYAD, Executive Director, Institute for Experiential AI, Chairman & Founder of Open Insights “There is no doubt that AI is democratizing how we build applications, automations, and models. This book is an effective guide to how to achieve that democratization while minimizing risk and maximizing value to the organization.” —NITIN MITTAL, Deloitte Global AI Leader, Co-Author of All in on AI “Workers are rapidly becoming AI-ready. Employers must rise to the moment and become citizen-ready. This invaluable book explores real-word examples, and describes how to equip ‘all hands’ to turn ideas into innovation. It’s a must-read for citizens and enterprises alike!” — PASCAL BORNET, Intelligent Automation Influencer, Author of Intelligent Automation and IRREPLACEABLE
