IT Spending Set to Increase in 2010 Companies are looking to invest in IT in order to cut spending in other departments as they emerge from the downturn, according to a recent survey by Accenture featured in Computer Weekly. The survey, of 500 executives in the US and Europe, found that 47% anticipated that they would selectively increase spending in IT, with 10% planning to increase IT spending across the board. “Among non-IT executives there was a recognition that IT is core to the business. It is a tipping point. It reflects the longer-term trend that business executives are becoming more engaged in understanding IT” said Jeremy Oates, Managing Director for Technology at Accenture.

In the programme Stafford joined forces with two other business people from the aerospace and design industries. The team of bosses ("Big Shots") were competing against a team of children ("Bright Sparks") to invent the best new product for the children market and given an initial brief. Their task was to create a brand new football kit which improved their skill. At the end, a panel of children voted on which product was the best. For the first time in a series The Big Shots won by a landslide 18 -7 votes and Stafford’s team managed to achieve what a number of high profile business people such as Duncan Valentine had fallen short. All the proceeds from Stafford taking part in the show were donated to Comic Relief and a good time was had by all. August 2007) | |||||||||||||||
