 <title>The Business Case for Business Technology Convergence</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/david-deans/business-technology-roundtable/business-case-business-technology-convergence</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The structured approach of Business Technology Management (BTM) is a proven methodology that seeks to unify business and technology decision-making at every level within a company.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Originally conceived to address the needs of large enterprises, there are now very apparent benefits for both small and medium sized businesses. Let&#039;s consider the growing body of evidence that supports that business case.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Gaining the Freedom to Fuel BT Innovation</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/david-deans/business-technology-roundtable/gaining-freedom-fuel-bt-innovation</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Without a doubt, the reason why most business decision makers consider an out-tasked solution -- based upon a managed service offering -- is still primarily the need for cost-reduction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clearly, that&#039;s a valid motivation for any business leader. But, it&#039;s only a part of the inherent benefit that can be attained by choosing to play this particular game with a very different set of rules.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;We are experimenting with Twitterfeed, as a tool to automate the process of providing subscriber updates -- when we post new content to the Business Technology Roundtable - &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/btroundtable&quot; title=&quot;http://twitter.com/btroundtable&quot;&gt;http://twitter.com/btroundtable&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Intro to the Business Technology Roundtable</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/david-deans/intro-business-technology-roundtable/intro-business-technology-roundtable</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Today, the application of technology is an integral part of most businesses – in some shape or form.
