IT Strategy: IT Organization Direction

Many companies focus exclusively on the technology aspects of the IT Strategy ignoring the fact that it is often the human factors that have a more direct impact on overall strategy success. Any time you develop an IT Strategy, consider how well the IT organization is positioned to deliver it.

  • What are the strengths and weaknesses of our IT organization – our services, our skills, and our processes?
  • In particular, how ready are we to do our part to act on company priorities?
  • What changes do we need to make in how we deliver IT services in the near-term, medium-term, and long-term?

These questions are addressed by your IT Organization Direction.

The IT Organization Direction needs to consider several things: skills and capabilities, services and processes, and organization structure.
