Overview
Developments in IT have changed the paradigm for corporate IT people
and the strategies they lead. Consumers and business managers are increasingly
confident at exploiting technology in ways that they value. Meanwhile,
executives want to constrain IT spending, not always certain of what
they get in return. Today's third generation of 'IT strategy' are about
what people do with IT and how much it all costs, rather than technology
itself.
The Corporate Strategy for IT harnesses the energy of business-led strategies for exploiting IT, to create maximum total value. It also makes transparent the linkages between business decisions and IT costs - often with some very surprising results.
This seminar and workshop provides a framework for deeply integrating IT with corporate and business strategies, and explores its impact on the organisation's people, investments, operating costs, Enterprise Architecture, and sourcing decisions.
- Exploring the four generations of Corporate Strategy for IT. Where is your organisation today?
- Rapidly formulate the Corporate Strategy for IT in collaboration with business leaders
- Integrate IT with corporate and business strategies, and keep it that way
- Transform IT costs and budgets into a portfolio of investments in business change
- Maximise the contribution and influence of IT expertise at all stages of the investment process
The seminar will provide you with a comprehensive framework for formulating and executing your organisation's Corporate Strategy for IT, and worked examples. Many delegates will find that it permanently changes their perspective of what the latest generation of 'IT strategies' are all about, including:
- The promise, principles and tactics of the Corporate Strategy for IT
