A MYTEK Slideshare
It is often the case with organizations that an IT strategy is not delivering
strategic execution due to the fact that a clear chain of accountability
for each step is lacking, which leads to failures and strategy
deterioration. The question becomes, who is driving IT strategy?
The dilemma of most IT strategies is that while they may be born of
stakeholder committees, they are abandoned by the individual members
shortly after birth.
The reality is that strategy happens
at an individual level throughout
the workforce in an organization.
Consequently, strategies must be backed
by management processes that provide
individuals with a clear understanding of
where they fit into the process.
In order to have accountability, everyone in the organization must have
access to a realistic support network that shows them what new goals and
activities are required to align themselves with the strategic objectives.
As the IT organization transforms into a service delivery center, their perceived
role as the driver of IT strategy is disappearing, if it ever existed at all. Rather
than exclusively driving the traditional aspects of the IT strategy, the
IT organization must drive the service delivery that underpins them.
As stakeholders pave the way for IT strategy transformations, managers make
the list of operational goals available to the workforce. This is to ensure there
is sufficient awareness of technical innovations and their strategic benefits to
users.
The outsourced IT management and services firm is the key to making this
possible via a comprehensive IT assessment, process mapping and the
resultant data that contributes to the defined IT strategy.
As adjuncts to the internal IT department they can support various aspects of
the IT strategy in terms of project fulfillment. Most importantly, they can fulfill
ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and help desk functions of the organization
and its IT infrastructure to maintain uptime. This frees the internal IT staff to
concentrate on more critical aspects of project fulfillment.
Skilled IT management and services consultancy partnerships with
organizations enable a process-connecting mesh that provides
accountability for actions in strategy fulfillment. With everyone
understanding their defined role to play in driving the strategy, it can
be realized within prescribed time frames and budgets while achieving
greater operational efficiencies, business growth and stability.
