Summary
Citing award-winning cases, work done by the MIT Sloan School Center for Information Systems Research (CISR), prestigious faculty of the Harvard Business School and others the author distils and serves-up the Eight Imperatives that leaders must imprint into their organizations’ cultures and execute to make the ascent from the bottom of the maturity scale – initial, ad hoc, chaotic – to the pinnacle of maturity – integrated and optimized – occupied by only the top few per cent of organizations, where every dollar spent on IT yields a return that is measured in business terms.
The journey is further colourfully illustrated with a metaphorical “road trip."
Chock-a-block with insight, this quick read is intended to give governing boards and non-IT business executives guidance to transition their IT from a cost of doing business to a strategic asset.
