Description

If you're a general manager or CFO, do you feel you're spending too much on
IT or wishing you could get better returns from your IT investments? If so,
it's time to examine what's behind this IT-as-cost mind-set. In The Real
Business of IT, Richard Hunter and George Westerman reveal that the cost
mind-set stems from IT leaders' inability to communicate about the business
value they create-so CIOs get stuck discussing budgets rather than their
contributions to the organization. The authors explain how IT leaders can
combat this mind-set by first using information technology to generate
three forms of value important to leaders throughout the organization:
-Value for money when your IT department operates efficiently and
effectively -An investment in business performance evidenced when IT helps
divisions, units, and departments boost profitability -Personal value of
CIOs as leaders whose contributions to their enterprise go well beyond
their area of specialization The authors show how to communicate about
these forms of value with non-IT leaders-so they understand how your firm
is benefiting and see IT as the strategic powerhouse it truly is.
