Strategic Alignment

Enable board and executive understanding of strategic IT issues, such as the role of IT, technology insights and capabilities. Ensure that there is a shared understanding between the business and IT regarding the potential contribution of IT to the business strategy. Work with the board and the established governance bodies, such as an IT strategy committee, to provide strategic direction to management relative to IT, ensuring that the strategy and objectives are cascaded into business units and IT functions, and that confidence and trust are developed between the business and IT. Enable the alignment of IT to the business in strategy and operations, encouraging co-responsibility between the business and IT for making strategic decisions and obtaining benefits from IT-enabled investments.
