He has mastery on the behavioral issues of success of IT/ERP Projects and has developed a trademarked “Behavioral IT®” Model to cut cost, time and risk of failure of IT/ERP projects.

He has been heading IT function for over 25 years. During his career mostly as a CIO and Software Delivery Professional, he has been a keen student of IT Management, Change Management, particularly the people and psychological issues of IT transformation. Here he shares his rich experience and learning with Top Professionals like you.

As CIO, his success story was recognized with a cover story in ‘Computers Today’, a top computer magazine of its time, for developing and implementing computerized systems in the toughest of situations. (Read story here)

He has very closely interacted with people and lived with them during the difficult transition period of automation. He, therefore, knows their fears, discomforts, anxieties and frustrations as they go through the implementations. He also knows what exactly they think they need to know of this technology, and what they should actually know.

He has worked both as Software Delivery head in SEI Level 5 companies and as Head of IT (CIO) in manufacturing companies. As Software Delivery Head in SEI Level 5 company, he created records of

As Head of IT in companies like Essar, Sutherland, Pidilite, Modi Rubber, etc. he has been extremely successful in developing and implementing computerized systems in the toughest of situations. He has expertise right from high-level IT Strategies and Management of IT-Driven-Change to down-to-earth software delivery.

He started his career as an analyst/ programmer and in less than five years was heading the IT function for a group of companies. He has major contribution in introducing computers for business applications in reputed companies. His areas of interest are business orientation and human orientation in Information Technology, study of the psychology of evolution from industrial era to information age, etc.

With a right mix of People, Process and Technology (PPT) expertise, he specializes in Business Process Automation focused on business objectives and people. Having managed IT on behalf of both IT user companies and SEI CMM Level 5 software manufacturing companies, he has expertise right from high level IT Strategies, Change Management, Strategies for IT implementations, upto down to earth system architecture and software delivery. With his close study of the businesses and people, he brings the insight to develop business solutions that work for businesses and people.

He has published articles on InfoTech management in the country's leading magazines. Most of the articles display an 'out-of-the-box' thinking and a knack to see what is not so obvious. He has also written on an objective analysis of God and Religion. Though these two areas of IT Management and Religion may seem to be poles apart, Prem believes that they are actually very closely related - both are a study into the human psychology of change.

He has authored a book titled "God in Two Minutes" downloadable at Amazon. The book takes a “scientific” look at the need for change in mindsets and myths over the past history of religion. Behavioral IT is a study into the psychology of change of mindsets required from industrial age to information age.

He has written on IT Management, Subconscious Mind/Psychology, and on Spirituality/Objective analysis of God & Religion. Visit his blog at https://premkamble.com/blog. Though these topics appear to be diverse, they all have a common objective - "Bridging Divides" and are based on a common theme of “Psychology of Change of Mindsets” – how our biases and beliefs are formed and get fixated though they become redundant over time. His writings help bridge divides in following way:

  • The book "God in Two Minutes" which is a scientific and objective look at religion, tries to bridge the religious divide and looks at the psychology of change over thousands of years from the time religions were born.
  • His writings on IT try to bridge what he calls the Corporate Digital Divide (divide between IT department and users, between IT Department and top management) and is based on psychology of change from Industrial era to Information era – how our industrial era mindset needs to change in the information era.
  • His writings on Psychology try to bridge the people to people divide and work on the psychology of change from birth to adulthood, how our beliefs and biases formed at childhood impact our actions as adults. When you understand yourself better, you understand others thereby narrowing your gaps with others.

All three topics on which he has written, including IT Management, deal with people, their mindsets and conditioning of the mind. The common theme of “Psychology of Change” helps change mindsets and helps people to think "outside their conditioning".

His purpose of writing is spreading love, not hatred by bridging people to people divide. His objective is to Promote "Religious Harmony, Corporate Harmony and Community Harmony"
