The Importance of Knowing your Stakeholders
Info-Tech’s Perspective:
The most important thing an IT leader can do is understand business
needs and actively measure that business stakeholders are satisfied
If you don’t have a clear understanding of the needs of your
stakeholders, you are flying blind
of C-Suite Executives believe IT
needs to improve how they

How Effective is the Process You Use to Measure and ManageBusiness Stakeholder Satisfaction?
Our process is fairly ad hoc. Typically we use conversations
in the hallway or ad hoc meetings” – CIO
“Understanding the business’s needs is important to us like
breathing, but it isn’t something we really have a lot of

Ensure projects deliver value, remain on

Data needs to be good, but truly
spectacular data may go unnoticed.

Identifying and Serving the Needs of Shadow IT Factions Can Bolster Overall IT Satisfaction
Those among the
“Shadow IT Factions”
are 13% less satisfied
with Project Execution
and Availability than
those among the
Complying Majority.
“Lost-Cause Outliers”
are no more dissatisfied
with IT than their
Shadow IT Faction
counterparts; their more
blatant disregard for IT
policy is not explained
statistically.
Data Driven Insight:
Target the needs of shadow IT factions. The majority of shadow IT is driven by a subset of dissatisfied
individuals with similar complaints. Ask what IT needs to do to meet their needs, and mobilize to enable them.
