![• How to connect IT with the strategic priorities of the organization
• One of the biggest frustrations the IT managers feel is the difficulty of aligning IT with the key
priorities of their organization - which must be one of the oldest chestnuts in technology
management.
• Many a time outsourcing done to save money and focus on our core business.
• But outsourcing has removed the IT manager's ability to adequately support the business. The
outsourcing deal is driven by SLAs [service-level agreements], but they don't take into consideration
all the little things that IT used to do to help out before the people were outsourced.
• Another issue came from demands to minimize capital expenditure (capex) and fund IT
through operating expenses (opex) instead.
• A number of major corporate projects mean there is little capex budget left for anyone. But
management are loath to spend out of revenue, so IT is just expected to adapt.“
• And too often, budget for new initiatives goes to "whoever shouts the loudest" because of a lack
of strategic direction for IT to be able to make a business case."It is about getting the right balance
between tactical and strategic, and between being reactive and responsive,"

- 52. • How to connect IT with the strategic priorities of the organization • One of the biggest frustrations the IT managers feel is the difficulty of aligning IT with the key priorities of their organization - which must be one of the oldest chestnuts in technology management. • Many a time outsourcing done to save money and focus on our core business. • But outsourcing has removed the IT manager's ability to adequately support the business.

- 53. • Communicating and marketing IT more effectively to the rest of the organization • lack of alignment between strategy and IT is the need for the IT department to communicate better with the rest of the organization and the boardroom. • "IT people are not naturally good at marketing themselves,“ "We have to articulate things in a language the business understands.“ • Compliance, governance, metrics and risk management • "Compliance can drive the rest of the business to consider IT more." • A risk management approach is as an effective way to make sure the board understands the impact of an IT business case. For example, if a business risk that could cost the company, say, one per cent of its revenue could be eliminated by better IT, that makes a compelling argument to proceed. 53
