PLEASE VISIT CIO.GOV WEBSITE FOR NITIN PRADHAN’S OFFICIAL US DOT CIO BLOGS.

Nitin Pradhan created the “Winning Through Technology” personal blog to inspire organizations and especially its leadership to exploit their IT department and technology as a strategic asset and a valuable business partner rather than a tactical, technical, maintenance and support unit. Nitin’s goal is to showcase, innovative and paradigm shifting business technology ideas, strategies, initiatives or solutions that drive business value and financial results. The views reflected in this blog do not reflect those of Nitin’s current or past employers.  To read Nitin Pradhan’s official blogs visit Cio.gov today.

“Winning Through Technology” blog will address technology culture and showcase initiatives within any industry globally. It could also address some unique topics near and dear to the blog creator Nitin Pradhan relating to technology start ups, technology delivered education / learning, technology-based economic development, technology optimization within government, citizen centric technology services, and public-private innovations.

Nitin plan to write a few personal blogs himself but is also hopeful that leaders in every field can contribute to this blog as guest authors on how technology can be the winning differentiator! Contributions can be in one of the following catagories:

  • Bold Proposal - Visionary, innovative or paradigm shifting idea yet to be implemented.
  • Work in Progress - Visionary, innovative or paradigm shifting idea currently being implemented.
  • Best Practice - Visionary, innovative or paradigm shifting idea successfully implemented.
  • Learning Experience - Visionary, innovative or paradigm shifting idea that failed to take off.
  • Technology Culture – Ideas to exploit IT department as a strategic asset and a valuable business partner rather than a tactical, technical maintenance and support unit.

Examples of Ideas

Let us give you an example of a new technology proposal — we continue to hear that K-12 education is failing in our great nation. Often discussions quickly move to the quality of teachers, unions, and contracts, etc.  Our question is in today’s technology driven world why can’t we create a “Teacher in a Box” solution and make it available to every student online? This 24 x 7 digital teacher may not fill all the gaps in education but it will allow those who have a hunger for learning opportunity to learn! Just look at what Khan Academy has achieved!

While we are on the topic of “Teacher in a Box” why not stretch our imagination and create a “Doctor in a Box” solution? Clearly there are early signs on apps being created in this direction but nothing firm yet!
