Enhancing IT-Business Collaboration- Insights from CIO’s Industry Experience and Academic Research
IT leaders are looking for guidance on where they are and where they should be to best fit and work with their business. As benchmarking and comparison, they use (role) models. However, every IT leader faces some unique challenges, different circumstances and complexities of IT-business collaboration. (Role) models, by their nature, do not fully capture all unique aspects, leading to challenges in feasibility and thus effectiveness. Our approach to address these gaps was conducting a focus group with five experienced leaders in IT management. The group derived hypotheses proposing practical approaches. This report shows the results to the interested CIOs, CEOs, CTOs etc. With this extended view IT and all leaders can better derive suitable actions for themselves.
