The right IT strategy can add significant enterprise value
IT projects might seem like a never-ending cost of doing business, but they actually can help organizations realize meaningful value creation.
There are ways to turn technology and IT initiatives from a major cost to a major generator of value. The key? Ruthlessly prioritize the resources of management attention, capital, and IT skills, and allocate them to a set of managed strategies that deliver specific outcomes. Ongoing execution success requires constant alignment with top management and agile decision-making to balance initiatives across the company.
Some initiatives create enterprise value (using price optimization software supported by artificial intelligence, for example), some enable value (an enterprisewide data warehouse and associated visualizations, for example), and others (such as cybersecurity training) protect value. So how do you start? By working through a structured methodology to quickly and effectively turn your business strategy and executive priorities into a clear IT strategy that is understood and execution ready.
