1. Business and IT Challenges for Today's Organization -- 2. The Value Cycle -- 3. The Engineering Model of Business-IT Alignment -- 4. The Agricultural Model -- 5. The Value Realization Cycle -- 6. Governing IT Service Delivery -- 7. Enterprise Architecture -- 8. IT Investment Portfolio -- 9. Sourcing IT Services -- 10. Measuring IT Value Delivery -- 11. ROI -- 12. The Role of Leadership -- 13. It's Not About Technology; It's About Value.

The advances of modern computer-based innovation have been mind-bogglingly fast and have changed both business and everyday life around the world. But change has not come evenly. The very pace of technological advancement has tended to hide some fundamental problems that have existed from the start. These involve, not the technology only, but the management and application of that technology. The human and organizational factors have not kept pace. They have remained relatively static and, to a shocking degree, ineffective. As a result, the IT department in any organization has somehow remained a breed apart. Communication between IT and the rest of the organization is fraught with misunderstanding. This leads to failures, recrimination, and, sometimes, wholesale changes which fall well wide of their goals. The authors wrote this book because they wanted both business and IT to change the way they think and talk about how IT is invested in and managed in organizations. In The Value Imperative readers will be introduced to a new business model called The Agricultural Model created by the authors for managing IT in organizations. This innovative model will help you learn how to change the mindset of people in your organization about how IT should be invested in and managed; key considerations for ensuring that business value is delivered from IT investments; how to measure that value that has been delivered and whether there has been effective return on the investments made; and finally the authors challenge business and IT managers to focus on the business value that customers seek which will help companies.
