Repositioning IT functions

IT functions are critical to business success , however their influence is not always felt at the strategy table early enough. Even when the IT director has strong influence at Board level, the performance of the IT function can often be judged on cost and down time rather than on the strategic contribution that can be made to the business as a whole. This is true at all levels in the organisation. Helping your IT staff work in partnership with the business is key to the perception of IT not as technicians but as strategic partners who significantly contribute to business success. Getting the culture of communication right with key stakeholders is also critical to this success.

Clients we have worked with have needed to address the following issues:

	How to engage a complex stakeholder structure in getting commitment to a new strategy across the business.
	How to address the culture of the function to improve performance and to meet and raise stakeholders' expectations.
	How to develop capacity in senior IT leaders to work more fully in partnership with the business.
	How to ensure that the complex change process involved in making systems implementation such as ERP really work is successful.
