Harris Kern
Founder
Harris Kern’s Enterprise Computing Institute

A world-renowned American author, publisher, lecturer, and IT consultant, who is the industry’s foremost expert on simplifying IT – and making it work. In a ‘technology-solves-all-problems-world’, Mr. Kern challenges industry leaders to build a competitive IT organization by re-focusing resources, rather than re-building infrastructures. His focus is on people, process and organization performance, which allow organizations to maximize the ability of IT to create business value and enables the integration of IT into the business as a strategic partner.

Harris Kern’s extensive industry background (best practices) serves as the foundation for his best-selling series of “how-to” textbooks published by Prentice Hall on the critical issues the IT industry faces. The series includes titles such as IT People: Doing More With Less, IT Services, IT Organization, CIO Wisdom, Managing IT as an Investment, among others.

Harris Kern is also a motivational speaker, peak performance expert, and self-discipline mentor. He is the author of DISCIPLINE: Six Steps To Unleashing Your Hidden Potential,DISCIPLINE: Training The Mind To Manage Your Life, and DISCIPLINE: Mentoring Children For Success.

Staff and leadership development is an area Harris Kern is extremely passionate about. He has developed a Professional Growth Program (PGP), which provides your organization (individual contributors and management) with an actively monitored performance-enhancement strategy/roadmap. Individuals are able to integrate goals (career and personal) that allow them to be more motivated, focused and productive. The PGP focuses on leadership development, self-management skills (time/goal management), EQ (communication, relationship building, etc), knowledge in best practices and business aptitude.

Harris Kern delivers solutions that revolve around a comprehensive set of IT methodologies that concentrate on identifying, measuring, improving the ability of IT to deliver against the business value-chain. Most importantly, the results enable our clients to articulate that value to the business, demonstrating alignment with key value streams such as revenue, market share, cost reduction, customer satisfaction, and operating efficiencies.

Harris Kern is hoping that his experience and solutions in building high-performance organizations, which are aligned with business objectives, will allow for an opportunity to sit down and discuss how he may be of some assistance.
