Business & IT-alignment - strategy alignment




Steering IT

How competent is the Business in steering IT?

If they new what IT stood for it would be a start
Some of our managers know somebody who once saw a PC,
that now makes them experts in making IT decisions
If they could remember their passwords it would be an
improvement.
They think that the Internet is still just a hype
Some of them actually know how to get past the screen
saver

Business added value of IT

How does the IT organisation add value?

The IT organisation is a black hole of
investment, where nothing of value ever comes out.
Our It organisation adds value to society...
we employ the dregs of society that nobody else
is their right mind would employ!
We'd get more value out of our IT employees by
swapping them for a set of Pokemon cards.
Our IT demonstrably improves the effectiveness
and efficiency of business operations...
