Digitization of business interactions and processes is advancing full
bore. But in many organizations, returns from IT investments are
flatlining, even as technology spending has skyrocketed.
These challenges call for new levels of IT savvy: the ability of all
managers-IT or non-IT-to transform their company's technology assets
into operational efficiencies that boost margins. Companies with
IT-savvy managers are 20 percent more profitable than their competitors.
In IT Savvy, Peter Weill and Jeanne Ross-two of the world's foremost
authorities on using IT in business-explain how non-IT executives can
acquire this savvy. Concise and practical, the book describes the
practices, competencies, and leadership skills non-IT managers need to
succeed in the digital economy. You'll discover how to:
-Define your firm's operating model-how IT can help you do business
-Revamp your IT funding model to support your operating model
-Build a digitized platform of business processes, IT systems, and data
to execute on the model
-Determine IT decision rights
-Extract more business value from your IT assets
Packed with examples and based on research into eighteen hundred
organizations in more than sixty countries, IT Savvy is required
reading for non-IT managers seeking to push their company's performance
to new heights.
