Imagine thinking about your company's information technology in the same way that you think about its investment portfolio: as a bundle of assets that—when managed right—will generate revenues and savings. Here's just such a framework for leveraging IT (technology, networks, data, and software)—one that enables business managers to make the important decisions about the potentially confounding mix of high-technology that influences near- and long-term planning, affects the ability to support customers, and dictates the flow of daily operations. Drawing upon their rigorous research with more than 100 top multinationals, the authors present a rich and varied range of examples of IT investment strategies that have reaped rewards for firms such as Citibank, Honda, Johnson & Johnson, Ralston Purina, the Development Bank of Singapore, and Telstra. This hands-on resource, compete with benchmarks and case studies, creates the common ground where both management and IT can meet, communicate their goals, and agree on the best plan for getting there.
The New CIO Leader
Two converging factors–the ubiquitous presence of technology in organizations and the recent technology downturn–have brought chief information officers (CIOs) to a critical breaking point. They can seize the moment to leverage their expertise into a larger and more strategic role than ever before, or they can allow themselves to be relegated to the sideline function of «chief technology mechanic.» Drawing from exclusive research conducted by Gartner, Inc., with thousands of companies and CIOs, Marianne Broadbent and Ellen Kitzis reveal exactly what CIOs must do now to solidify their credibility with the executive team and bridge the chasm that currently separates business and IT strategy.The New CIO Leader outlines the agenda CIOs need to integrate business and IT assets in a way that moves corporate strategy forward–whether a firm is floundering, successfully competing, or leading its industry. Mandatory reading for CIOs in every firm, The New CIO Leader spells out how information systems can deliver results that matter–and how CIOs can become the enterprise leaders they should be.
