IT has become an essential component for almost any business to run. Where years
ago IT was a “nice to have”, now it is a “must” to stay competitive and to address
all requirements put on companies to be in business. Though IT is critical, very
rarely is the IT strategy closely aligned with the Business or Business Strategy,
where IT can provide direct results to meet or exceed identified business goals
or vision. As a result, IT is often considered a cost center, allowing for consistent
budget cuts and lack of support from the business to address important IT requirements.
Aditi leverages Business & IT Alignment methods to help IT build a "golden thread"
strategy that directly reflects business focused initiatives as well as impact of
IT initiatives critical for business success. Because we take a top down view -
IT strategy is derived through business initiatives and is communicated consistently
from a business view point, creating more clarity about ITs role in business success.
As part of this effort, Aditi helps change the culture of IT to take a more business
aligned view, creating clear threads and decision criteria to allow IT to make decision
based on the business. In turn, all IT decisions can then be clearly articulated
back to business, demonstrating how they align with their needs.
