Riassunto

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:

• Discover the untapped potential of citizen developers to revolutionize business operations with technology democratization
• Find a practical framework for integrating citizen development into a broader corporate digital and data strategy, while controlling risk
• 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

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.

Dalla quarta di copertina

In an era of easy-to-use AI, everyone can be a creator, coder, and data scientist. Are we ready?

“Citizen developers” are domain experts creating exciting and practical applications at work, thanks to a new generation of AI-powered low-code and no-code tools. In many companies, they are already unleashing tremendous value while freeing up IT resources for more complex projects. But how can firms take advantage of the abilities of these supercharged employees, while avoiding the risks posed?

In All Hands on Tech: The AI-Powered Citizen Revolution, a team of data and digital pioneers show how enterprises can enable citizen development without squashing enthusiasm with excessive oversight. You’ll learn from stories of successful creators across industries and job roles - all who have combined their passion, mindset, and expertise with a powerful set of tools that allow them to turn ideas into action.

The authors explore three distinct types of citizens shaping the world of work today - automators, developers, and data scientists. They showcase the skills, personality traits, and mindsets that set these employees apart. They also explore how to align the incentives of citizen developers with the broader goals of the organization.

All Hands on Tech shares the successes of major initiatives, and sets out a clear hands-on framework for how to launch, scale, and safeguard citizen-powered innovation while highlighting key forks on the road to excellence. Perfect for every employee who knows there’s a better way. Perfect also for their managers, executives, and other business leaders seeking to unlock the full potential of frontline employees who understand the challenges that need to be solved. All Hands on Tech will also prove essential for the hundreds of thousands of IT professionals whose day-to-day responsibilities will be redefined by the continuing democratization of IT work.
