Abstract

In this chapter, the authors discuss the critical success factors of IT strategy holistically across four dimensions of the strategic management process from strategy formulation to planning to execution and to value delivery monitoring, end-to-end. The most basic requirement for the success is that IT must be regarded as being part of the business, devoid of the “us” vs. “them” chasm (separating IT from the business) found in most traditional organizations where IT is viewed as a subservient role performing basically a “back office” function. Case examples are used to illustrate the alignment processes and the resulting business value accrued. Because IT leaders have to manage alignment in all four dimensions in order to maximize the strategic value of information technology deployment, the chapter also examines the evolutionary CIO leadership roles in value creation.
