Growth of IT Outside IT - an Evolution of SuccessJoel Munch
More and more, Information Technology is expanding beyond the domain of the IT department and Chief Information Officer. For some companies, this can be a symptom of an obsolete organizational structure or outdated IT. For other companies, this can be the sign of a successful evolution in management leadership and the growing value of IT. To determine the areas of success and areas in need of attention, a complete picture of IT beyond the traditional IT department and budget visibility needs to be created. Today’s accounting systems rarely track or report total IT in a meaningful way.
This presentation pulls from my own successes and challenges as CIO for an international public company as well as over 20 years of management consulting for Fortune 500 and other high performance companies. You’ll gain an understanding of techniques to both quantify and then drive multiple times more value from expanding consumption and utilization of IT throughout your company. In my experience, companies spend up to 30% more on IT than they think is currently being spent. Measuring and utilizing tools to effectively manage IT is no longer just the responsibility of the IT department and CIO.
