Recommended ways to transistion from IT to Business and Vice Versa?

I was curious if anyone has recently gone from a IT/technical position to a business role?
I was just wondering what skill sets they had to aquire before making that jump? I want to still stay in IT, but also be more actively involved in the business processes.
Any ideas?
