IT Strategy : accelerate value creation for business
At the heart of the digital exponential growth, IT Departments must rethink their role and strategy to position themselves as a privileged economical partner for Business and to adopt a Business Centric posture.
How can you build your IT strategy around value creation?
In a global economy with a fast paced transformation context, the Information Systems Department plays a key role in business transformation.
An IT Department must define and execute its strategy for the business, maximizing the underlying value creation.
And value creation is not just about technological innovation. In fact, an IT strategy that serves the business and the company’s growth addresses multiple priorities:
- Improve operational efficiency,
- Contribute to company growth,
- Ensure IT security, resiliency and sustainability,
- Accelerate business digitalization and improve user experience,
- Rapidly integrate technological innovations that generate business opportunities.
Process digitalization / automation, enterprise data exploitation and AI obviously contribute to business value creation. However, optimizing its technical platform, ensuring company’s IT resiliency and providing sufficient pledges to B2C and B2B clients on Green IT and IT security matters represent a competitive lever beyond compliance requirements.
As a business and economical strategic partner, CIOs should design and execute a strategy that allows to:
- Adopt a “Business Centric” stance, with an ever richer offering of innovative, packaged and marketed services, which will meet the growing desire of business users for turnkey IT products that can be implemented very quickly and invoiced on a pay-per-use basis,
- Preserve its regalian role in terms of operational performance, security and also sustainability (Green IT) to accelerate time-to-market in a controlled and sustainable way,
- Control and even optimize costs through value-based management.
