Enhancing IT-Business Collaboration- Insights from CIOs 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.

Effective Resource and Financial Management via Rolling Planning

Every organization juggles resources, budgets and timelines to achieve its strategic, tactical and operational goals. The question is how to manage these seemingly conflicting edges, and how to get an overarching, up-to-date view that allows decision makers to take proactive action without a lot of effort. This question is an old one, yet we still see the struggles and their many impactful implications. The reason is that besides all AI and prognostic calculations, we are still humans and oftentimes can neither see the full picture for now nor for the future. Combined with overconfidence, this leads to ending up in handling more topics than can be managed. This article thus provides guidance for CEOs, COOs, CIOs, and decision makers on the still relevant topic of how to efficiently and accurately plan resources and finances to achieve their business goals.
