Just do that, not write everything you know!

Read as widely as you can Be equipped to examine a “problem” from a number of different perspectives Avoid sounding trivial and/or silly! Avoid silly statements like “Everyone knows that IT benefits the business…” These sorts of statements make me believe that you do not understand the issues!
