Closing the Gap between Business and IT. From almost the dawn of the age of software more than 50 years ago, there has been a communication gap between business and IT. For almost as long we have sought solutions, but they always seem to elude us. Meanwhile, the gap has grown into a chasm that now needs a fairly substantial bridge.

Friday, January 2, 2009. I'm a young researcher and I can admit that I'm already doing a good job. I've been publishing within the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community since my under-graduate degree in Brazil. And now, as a PhD researcher in Belgium, I'm collaborating with yet other communities, such as Organization Engineering and Business Process Management that have been learning about the benefits of HCI. But what makes my research valuable is to see it out there. What a small world!
