Description
'Making IT Count: from strategy to implementation' focuses on the practical elements of delivering Information Technology strategy. Studies
regularly show that over half of Information Technology strategies are never implemented, or are unsuccessful in delivering the desired
results, and that a significant percentage of strategies implemented were never in the original plans. The linkage between strategy development
and delivery needs a very clear focus; this is the key topic that the authors address.
The book highlights eight major fallacies in
managing IT, and eighteen better practices. It then details how to draw up strategy, instigate navigation techniques and make sourcing
decisions. Change and delivery are a major focus, as is infrastructure development. Caselets and full length case studies of organizations
such as General Electric, Siemens, Colonial Mutual, Charles Schwab, Macquarie Bank, ICI, United Airlines, Norwich Union, Walgreens and
Dell and have been included to show how strategies have been successfully implemented and managed.
Audience
Senior IT management and consultants involved in, or responsible for, the development or governance of IT strategy and its implementation
and on-going management.
Business managers and executives. Academic programmes with a practitioner orientation including MBAs and degrees
in computer science.
