Nick Carr, author, business and technology writer, and former executive editor of the Harvard Business Review, became the center of the debate on IT value with his 2003 article “IT Doesn’t Matter“, and his subsequent book, Does IT Matter?: Information Technology and the Corrosion of Competitive Advantage.

His latest book, The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google, examines the future of computing and its influence on business and society.

This keynote was reason enough to attend the Gartner Enterprise Architecture 2008 conference.
