Where does a company begin to assess its Val IT position? Who should lead the assessment process?
Leadership of the assessment process will vary by enterprise, but in determining this, it should be recognized that the issue of getting value from IT-related investments is not a technology issueit is a business issue. Wherever leadership comes from, since a change in corporate culture is generally required to achieve sustainable changes, executive sponsorship and involvement are essential. We suggest that recognizing pain points, trigger events and other symptoms of need in the value delivery area are a first step in the assessment process. A gap analysis between existing and desired future states should follow the developing of an action plan to implement the necessary changes. The Val IT publication Getting Started With Value Management expands further on these steps.
