In this edition of our podcast, National Modern Workplace<\/a> Practice Lead Joe Hartsel<\/a>, Senior Manager for Modern Workplace Brit Kwait, and Senior Architect Jo Karnes<\/a> discuss how citizen development<\/a> improves productivity, accelerates innovation, and frees up IT groups to focus on the most business-critical applications and solutions.<\/p>\n As we continue diving into why companies are beginning to use citizen development, we take a closer look at how it empowers employees to build the tools they need without depending on the software experts in IT to get it done.<\/p>\n We also look at the benefits of introducing citizen developers into your business. Most companies could clear about 40% of the current IT backlog if they put the appropriate citizen developer tools in place.<\/strong><\/p>\n Our two-part webinar, “Citizen Development: How Business and IT Teams Achieve More,” which we are now offering as an easy-listening podcast, dives into why and how companies are beginning to use citizen development.<\/p>\n\n
