Necessary But Not Sufficient

This book opened an eye for few fundamentals to be questioned, that are quite possibly overlooked today in IT & Business world.
Here are those lines....which should be in the mind of everyone involved in IT & should be repeatedly probed for:

• First Law of Implementation - "Learn how to do business with new systems first, and only then can you ask for changes."

• One guy by the tie - "No finger pointing between the software company & implementation team allowed".

• "Technology will bring benefits when and only when, the new technology surpasses an existing limitation. It is simply common sense".

• "Technology is a necessary condition, but it's not sufficient".

• "MRP - More Ridiculous Priorities".

• "We have to switch from selling information technology to selling value".

• "You have invested ....so much of this company's money in this project, what can you show us for all that money?".

and so on......

These lines are just simple common sense yet many a times not deeply thought about.
Though the whole novel is based on the Manufacturing Industry as a base, yet there are few points applicable for all....! Also, it does not explain in detail how to apply "TOC" in IT itself.

Novel to read, Crispy lines to ponder for better business & IT.
