  Book Information

This new book enables IT managers to implement strategy rather than develop it.
IT professionals tend to focus on 'implementation' because they like the comfort of systems and processes. But you need to focus your energies on the people side of the delivery to ensure clarity and commitment
Key areas include:
* The business & its strategy
* Aligning IT with the strategy
* The proposition
* What is the business buying?
* Delivering with impact
Every chapter will be approached from three angles:
* Analytical - considers the reason why the topic needs to be covered
* Goal and action orientated- this is a much punchier version of the topic in terms of actions and outputs
* Storytelling- to highlight what is out there, what is possible and to remove fear
In closing, this all demands that the IT team build the ability to think and act in a strategically aligned way.
