Easy access to social media, cloud computing, big data, and mobile services has bred a new class of business employee that take on more technology projects without IT involvement. Business employees are tech-savvy but do not have the knowledge, experience, or expertise to innovate around such technologies to maximize security, maintain compliance, and minimize risk – but IT does.

- Understand innovation and success factors within an enterprise
- Identify disconnection between how the Business and IT view innovation
