Many IT depolments fall short of delivering value to the businesses that pay for them. On top of this, the combined forces of rapid business change and technological innovation frequently outpace the ability of IT organisations to make sense of their implications. With business activity and IT now so intimately interwined, organisations urgently need a framework which allows them to align IT capabilities with business strategies and priorities in a way that is sustainable. A team of IT-expert authors with more than 80 years' combined experience have interviewed dozens of CIOs, IT directors and other senior technical and business decision makers to find out what works and what doesn't. The result is a handbook for organisations of all sizes that want to improve the value of their IT investments, thus enabling their IT capabilities to play a more pivotal business role. Written in plain English that does not decend into technical detail, The Technology Garden provides practical advice for organisations looking to achieve sustainable IT-business alignment.
To do so, it defines: Six key principles - a distillation of best practice that readers can apply directly to the domain of IT-business alignment. A framework for their application of the principles. Adoption guidelines - a set of self-assessment checklists that readers can use to understand where they are on the IT-business alignment roadmap and how to progress. With groundbreaking research and proven approaches, this blueprint enables readers to understand what is at heart of IT-business alignment. Combining IT research, analysis and real-world insight, The Technology Garden is the ultimate no-nonsense guide.
