2009 Survey on IT-business balanceShaping the relationship between business and IT for the future |
It is our pleasure to bring to you the third edition of the IT-Business Balance Survey report. As in the previous ones, it explores some of the key themes which shape the relationships between IT and the Business.
Most companies are still fighting the impacts of the crisis. But in spite of the urgency and the uncertainty which rule today, now is probably a good time to reflect on how IT and the Business can work further together to create value. The years to come will probably see the advent of new relationship models, with the roles and responsibilities of IT and the Business being shifted and merged towards more integration, and a much more intensified dialogue.
In this context, looking outside of the company can be very valuable to get fresh ideas on how to deal with Business-IT alignment. This is one of the goals of this report. It only gives a glimpse into key areas, but we hope it can be the starting point of fruitful thinking.
The 2009 edition took the IT-Business Balance Survey to another level of ambition, as the number of participating countries has drastically increased this year. The survey can (almost) be called global, since companies from five continents joined in, representing a vast array of industries and corporate profiles. This expanded participation brought a wealth of additional insights, and further increases the value of the survey as a sounding board for companies across the globe.
