Business and IT Alignment
Many organizations face a disconnect between their business objectives and IT capabilities. This gap often arises because business leaders and IT leaders focus on excellence within their own areas, with little understanding of the other side. Even when either side proposes the best possible course of action, they often struggle to explain or fully understand the perspective of the other party.
As a result, this misalignment leads to wasted effort on low-impact initiatives. IT’s systematic approach doesn’t always align with the agility the business needs, while business leaders may not provide IT with the necessary context. Over time, this disconnect becomes even more apparent, especially when teams lose sight of why certain directions were chosen or why resources are being spent on initiatives that don’t seem to deliver clear value.
Business and IT alignment is no longer an option; it’s a necessity for those who want to stay competitive.
