Job Title

As a strategic driver, IT needs to work with the business. Yet, traditionally IT has not worked hand-in-hand with the business. IT does not know what information it needs from the business to execute on its initiatives.
A faster time to new investment decisions mean that IT needs a repeatable and efficient process to understand what the business needs.
CIOs must execute strategic initiatives to create an IT function that can support the business. Most CIOs fail because of low business support.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

Understanding the business context is a must for all strategic IT initiatives. At its core, each strategic IT project requires answers to a specific set of questions regarding the business.

An effective CIO understands which part of the business context applies to which strategic IT project and, in turn, what questions to ask to uncover those insights.

Impact and Result

Uncover what IT knows and needs to know about the business context. This is a necessary first step to begin each of Info-Tech’s strategic IT initiatives, which any CIO should complete.
Conduct efficient and repeatable business context discovery activities to uncover business context gaps.
Document the business context you have uncovered and streamline the process for executing on Info-Tech’s strategic CIO blueprints.
