Gartner sees three new rules that will be constants into the new era. CIOs are urged to apply these rules to lead their business forward. These new rules include: smart control, intelligent business, and IT dynamism.
Smart Control
Users now have access to unprecedented IT choices. They can access them how they want, where they want, on whatever device they want.
Users now have access to unprecedented IT choices. They can access them how they want, where they want, on whatever device they want.
Users can achieve incredible things without the IT department, but they can only maximize their IT capabilities with the IT department. Smart control is about managing technology in tighter alignment with business goals by loosening the grip on IT.
Intelligent Business
IT leaders will be in a position to shape how intelligence will be gathered, shared, consumed, and used by everyone in their organization, as well as how that information will be turned into intelligence.

To support an intelligent business, people in the organization will need to have access to the full spectrum of information that supports questions. If IT leaders do not help, they will be locked out because employees will find the information from whatever source they can: transactions, video, mobile activity, tweets, search activity, blogs, text messaging, and social sites.
IT Dynamism
Under the old rule, IT was tasked to develop solutions that delivered a specific business function and often had a "one size fits all" mentality. IT made deep, single-vendor commitments and pushed a core application to the far edges of the organization. The residual effects of this approach are being felt now - rigid systems where change is time-consuming and costly.

In the new era, we routinely need to start projects without knowing all of the requirements, We know that if we wait we'll be too late to market. We also know that the dynamic nature of intense global competition forces us to redo previously well understood requirements at the drop of a hat. IT dynamism is the new rule because it means 'build to change'."
So excellent article was a great help of me. Thanks a million! Hope to read the more cool article soon
