IT Strategy Essentials: A Practical Guide

Information technology – or IT – has come to be regarded as a critical component of an organization's business strategy. In fact, companies may not reach their potential if their IT strategy isn't closely integrated with other business strategies. By collaborating with the business leaders in their organizations, IT managers can create technical solutions that support business objectives and add value to the organization.

In companies where IT and business leaders work together successfully, IT can be used to improve business processes and to drive innovation and change. This often results in new products and capabilities that give the company a competitive edge. So to get the most value from technology, leaders should take an integrated view of IT in their organizations. They can do this by ensuring their business and IT strategies are aligned.
