Aligning IT & Corporate Goals in the Information Age
>> Summary <<

Stockholm, 10-11 June 2004

Despite a growing emphasis on aligning business and information technology (IT) in the past decade, many organisations report that operational differences continue to hinder effectiveness. Although most firms consider strategic alignment vital, they must also understand that it isn't a magic solution. Firms that align strategically without also creating alignment on an operational level will often be disappointed with the results. To improve the relationship between business and IT, telcos need to create flexible operational models that define how business and IT work together every day and at every level of the organisation.
