The evolution of the IT strategic plan

摘要

Over the past 15 years, the content, priorities and people developing the strategies and sense of urgency of an IT strategic plan have changed. In fact, if your firm's IT plan doesn't look and resemble your strategic plan and vision, you should ask why they are not in alignment. Generally speaking, strategic and IT plans lack alignment when people fail to communicate, document results and hold each other accountable for execution. Sadly this alignment has not happened in many shared services organizations because IT has been valued and managed as overhead, rather than as a strategic asset.
