Order now... "THE BUSINESS VALUE OF IT: Managing Risks, Optimizing Performance, and Measuring Results by DCG's Mike Harris and David Herron with Stasia Iwanicki.
The authors share their real-world experiences to explain how you can demonstrate IT's value, and potentially find extra value you didn't know your IT organization creates. They also show how to apply risk management to process improvement and avoid unintended consequences of process improvement programs.
“According to a study by Diamond Management & Technology Consultants Inc., of Chicago, 87% of business leaders say they believe that IT is critical to their companies' strategic success.
The study finds that few businesses have yet positioned IT in a way that allows it to achieve this. Only 33% of business leaders say IT is very involved in developing their company's strategy, and 30% say the business executive in charge of strategy works closely with IT, according to the Diamond study. That has an impact on performance: 76% of companies say they have had to abandon a tech project, including 29% that say they have abandoned more than 10% of these projects, according to the Diamond study.”
