Organizational executives must change the way they think about how
to invest in and manage IT if they want to get lasting value from
computer-based innovations. The old way of thinking has not served
organizations well. They continue to experience high levels of
technological and operational failures even though they apply a
wide variety of industry best practices. The rapid pace of
technological advancement has tended to hide some fundamental
problems that have existed from the start. These involve, not the
technology only, but also the management and application of that
technology. The human and organizational factors have not kept
pace. They have remained relatively static and, to a shocking
degree, ineffective. As a result, the IT department in many
organizations has remained a breed apart. Communication between IT
and the rest of the organization is fraught with misunderstanding.
This leads to failures, recrimination, and, sometimes, wholesale
changes which fall well short of their goals. The authors wrote
this book because they wanted to help both business and IT to shift
their focus from technology project implementation to that of value
realization. In The Value Imperative readers will be introduced to
a new business model called The Agricultural Model created by the
authors for managing IT in organizations. This innovative model
will help you learn how to change the mindset of people in your
organization about how IT should be invested in and managed; key
considerations for ensuring that business value is delivered from
IT investments; how to measure that value that has been delivered
and whether there has been effective return on the investments
made; and finally the authors challenge business and IT managers to
focus on the business value that customers seek which will help
companies.
