Connecting IT to Business Strategy: Part I

by Robert J. Benson, Tom Bugnitz, Bill Walton

Logical and practical disconnects occur in how senior leadership teams link their business strategy to effective management actions. Ideally, a company's IT investments clearly and directly carry out strategy; ideally, the plans, budgets, and actions of every company component should clearly reflect a company's strategies. The reality is that organizational silos, overconcentration on quarterly bottom-line results, and sheer inertia prevent the ideal, and the result is an inconsistent investment in IT and a lesser bottom-line impact.
