This newly released book by IDE Fellow Thomas Davenport and AI entrepreneur, Ian Barkin, dives into a future of work where technology empowers everyone to be a creator and builder. All Hands on Tech: The Citizen Revolution in Business Technology, 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.
