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 had an exemplary career for almost twenty years as Distinguished Professor, and founder and Executive Director of the Stevens Institute Information Systems programs; one of the largest in the world. Driven by the strong demand for a global executive education program focusing on managing information technology, Dr. Luftman has leveraged his experience as a CIO, IT management consultant, and leading academic, with his strong network of IT management associations, and prominent academics and IT practitioners, to provide a valuable and unique offering via the Global Institute for IT Management.
Dr. Luftman’s project experience ranges from senior management issues through tactical implementation. 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, associations, and publications.
Dr. Luftman’s last responsibility at IBM was a key speaker at their Customer Executive Conference Center in Palisades, N.Y. While responsible for management research, he played a significant role in defining and introducing the IT Strategy and Planning, and Business Process Reengineering practice methods for the IBM Management Consulting Group. His framework for applying the strategic alignment model is fundamental in helping clients understand, define, and scope the appropriate strategic planning approach to pursue. Dr. Luftman’s annual international IT trends survey sponsored by SIM, CIOnet, and other CIO associations is recognized internationally as an industry barometer. His SIM experience includes being the NJ Chapter President and over 10 years on the international board.

"I have known James Dillon for several years and especially appreciate the contributions he made to the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (FWE) in Paris.
As co-Chair of the FWE conference in Paris, "Invest in Successful Women Entrepreneurs," I asked James to be the final speaker at the event. He understood that he needed to be energetic at the end of a long day in order to keep the 100 multinational attendees interested and finish the conference on a high note. Emphasizing the purpose of the conference, bringing international investors to Paris to meet women entrepreneurs, he offered a powerful metaphor for the audience to keep in mind.
The public responded very positively to James's lively wrap-up session. It is without hesitation that I recommend James as a both a business speaker and facilitator."
