Transformation Begins with Effectiveness

When you begin an IT Transformation effort, it’s tempting to begin with those big strategic goals that will make you appear to be a “business partner.”

But you have a problem.

Most IT organizations lack the credibility to genuinely have that conversation with the business. After years of rapid growth, complexity has been layered upon complexity resulting in IT infrastructures and organizational models that struggle with service reliability, sluggishness and inefficiency.

In this state, the business questions IT’s ability to really deliver strategic value. For now, they just want stuff to work.

For an IT Transformation effort to succeed, it must start with creating organizational effectiveness.

IT must first be able to demonstrate that it can deliver routine services consistently and affordably. That means:

• Providing reliable services that can be counted on
• Executing changes efficiently and rapidly without disrupting services
• Consistently reducing costs, while improving service levels – automatically

It is only then – once IT has demonstrated its on-going effectiveness – that an IT Transformation effort can tackle the truly strategic goals.
