Description
Value-Driven IT Management explains how huge sums are wasted by companies (and governments) on poorly aligned, poorly
justified and poorly managed IT projects based on 'wishful thinking' cost and benefit assumptions and that even 'successful' projects
rarely seem to realise the benefits promised.
The author contends that the root cause of the disappointment and disillusion often found
in senior management with the value extracted from its IT investments is a complacent corporate culture that can actually foster uncommercial
behaviours in both users and internal suppliers of IT solutions.
The author sets out a detailed, pragmatic framework for commercialising
the internal IT Function and measuring its value to the business. This is not to be achieved by deploying conventional IT best practices
or by making the IT Function look like an external service provider. Instead the author proposes that the IT Function should transform
its value to the business by embracing a small set of best value practices that will engender more commercial behaviours in both IT staff
and users and will focus the IT Function's energies on delivering successful business outcomes that will win the respect of senior management.
