More About the Author
Jerry Luftman's career includes strategic positions in management (Information Technology and consulting), management consulting, Information Systems, and education. Dr. Luftman's experience combines the strengths of practitioner, consultant, and academic. His proficiency in business-IT alignment, eighteen books, published research, consulting, mentoring, and teaching/speaking engagements further exemplify Dr. Luftman's expertise and leadership in his field.
After a notable twenty-two year career with IBM, he is currently a Distinguished Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology School of Management. Besides the traditional responsibilities of a Professor, teaching Masters and Ph.D. students, Dr. Luftman is the founder and Executive Director of the Stevens' Information Systems programs; one of the largest in the world. In this capacity, Dr. Luftman manages all aspects of the program including course building, research, marketing, administrative processes, and executive programs. Dr. Luftman's project experience ranges from senior management issues through tactical implementation. His current initiatives include creating business and information technology strategies and plans, facilitating IT governance processes, and developing and deploying applications leveraging emerging technologies. Dr. Luftman most recently pioneered the vehicle for assessing the maturity of IT-business alignment; where he has a repository of over one-third of the Global 1,000 companies. He also serves on the executive board of several companies, organizations, and publications.
