IT Strategy (PowerPoint PPT Slide Deck)

The key drivers of Information Technology (IT) or Management Information Systems (MIS) value are an organization's IT mindset and its ability to execute. Today’s best practices show that IT value can be maximized when enterprise IT investments are aligned with business goals and IT execution is well managed.

It is critical to develop a cohesive, well planned IT Strategy to maximize value we can drive through our IT systems and IT capabilities.

An effective IT Strategy approach should focus on the key issues facing organizations today and answer 3 key questions:

•  What IT investments should I make that will provide me with the best business returns for the money spend?
•  What IT capabilities do I need to be successful in the connected economy?
•  How should I manage my IT investments so that I realize the full value of those investments and reduce the risks of failure?

The approach to IT Strategy should recognize that:

•  Good IT planning is more than paying salaries and depreciating hardware. It's about creating new assets in the form of intellectual capital and strategic IT capabilities.
•  Good IT planning is more a matter of allocating resources to the right investments than containing costs.
