| business management and information technology: Technology Business Management Todd Tucker, Technology Business Management Council, 2016-05-31 For many CIOs, the value they deliver is elusive. It's not that they do not create positive business outcomes, it's that they have a hard time demonstrating value for the money spent. As a result, many IT leaders find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of defending their budgets, cutting resources when times are tight, and struggling to keep pace with an insatiable business appetite for innovation. Meanwhile, business leaders increasingly rely on the cloud and other third parties for their technology needs, finding clear tradeoffs between cost, features, risk, and speed of delivery at their fingertips. CIOs must not only compete with these alternatives, they must embrace the new reality of a multi-sourced, service-oriented world.Many IT leaders are taking a more proactive approach to optimizing value. By using shared facts about cost, consumption, quality, risk and performance, hundreds of CIOs have empowered value conversations centered on cost-for-performance, business-aligned portfolios, investments in innovation and enterprise agility. The tradeoffs they've illuminated changed the tone of their meetings and instilled a business mindset in IT decisions.By reading this book, you'll discover and learn the following:-A practical, applied framework -- called Technology Business Management -- for creating and using shared facts to make better decisions about people, technologies, services and investments-A standard taxonomy of resources, technologies and services for CIOs to translate between IT, financial, and business perspectives-Creating transparency to empower decision makers, demonstrate cost-efficiency, shape demand and plan in step with the business-What your technology business model says about the value you deliver and the disciplines you employ-How to shift from project portfolio management to service portfolio management to both improve alignment and adopt more agile approaches to innovation and development-How to optimize run-the-business spending by optimizing infrastructure, outsources, labor and services and rationalizing your portfolios for better alignment-How to improve your ability to change the business by better governing innovation investments and improving enterprise agility-How to create and execute a roadmap for improving data and decision making capabilities over time while reaping rewards at every stage of maturity |

| business management and information technology: Business Dynamics in Information Technology Gottschalk, Petter, 2007-03-31 Emerging business models, value configurations, and information technologies interact over time to create competitive advantage. Modern information technology has to be studied, understood, and applied along the time dimension of months and years, where changes are the rule. Such changes created by interactions between business elements and resources are very well suited for system dynamics modeling. Business Dynamics in Information Technology presents business-technology alignment processes, business-technology interaction processes, and business-technology decision processes, serving the purpose of helping the reader study information technology from a dynamic, rather than a static, perspective. By introducing two simple tools from system dynamic modeling - causal loops and reference modes - the dynamic perspective will become important to both students and practitioners in the future. |

| business management and information technology: Practical Technology Business Management Jon Sober, 2020-10-24 This book has been written to assist those people who are starting, and also those that are already involved, with the process of managing the cost of Information Technology, and looking for the appropriate way to manage that cost to deliver business value. A structured method to deliver this, Technology Business Management (TBM), will be introduced in terms of the ideas, approaches, challenges and responses that are involved. TBM has developed and formalised as a consolidated set of disciplines since the late 'noughties,' previously having been activities carried out piecemeal and usually prioritised on an ad-hoc basis or to firefight specific organisational issues as they arose. In larger organisations, the activities which are now grouped together under a TBM banner were separate functions, with little or no recognition of the value to be gained by improving their cross-functional interaction. Without any formal structure to guide this, alongside the necessary level of professional expertise, and the training and focus needed to maintain core capabilities, the isolation of finance and technology functions was only broken down in a few companies. This book takes the practical disciplines of TBM and builds on the central concepts related to value which were covered in the 2016 book by Todd Tucker, Technology Business Management: The Four Value Conversations CIOs Must Have With Their Businesses . The development of TBM is as much founded on in its practical delivery as in the recognition of its value, and this book brings together structured guidance on that, based on real-life implementations and conversations about the concepts. The increasing capabilities of tools which help integrate information from multiple business functions paved the way for many innovative business improvements, and continue to do so. The recognition of the value to be gained in bringing this ability to the combination of management disciplines from technology, finance and business is where Technology Business Management derived its core propositions. Gradual development of the formality around this, with incremental value being able to be delivered over a sustained period, is why TBM has grown to its current state. A particular backbone of this is the TBM Taxonomy, which is included in this book as an Appendix. The other major factor in the development of Technology Business Management as a discipline has been the recognition of the value of a community of common interest, rather than the previous islands of competence. TBM is what has developed in the last decade from the starting point of those far-sighted individuals, companies and suppliers who saw a common interest in fixing problems that many organisations looked at as too hard. Continuing to build those communities of interest around TBM is a route to innovating and continuing to gain value, both within an organisation and within and across industries. There is still a gap between what it is possible to communicate and teach, as against what can be built through more direct relationships between those who are thoughtful, skilled, inquisitive or knowledgeable in a topic. A common understanding of the challenges and failures that are likely to affect those working in this space is, however, useful. That is what this book targets. |
| business management and information technology: Information Technology for Knowledge Management Uwe M. Borghoff, 1998-03-18 The value of an organization is given not just by its tangible assets but also by the knowledge embodied in its employees and in its internal and external structures. While explicit knowledge can be shared as information and is easy to handle, this tacit knowledge has been neglected by effectiveness-oriented management techniques but is crucial for both the operational efficiency and the core competencies of an organization. This book provides a survey of the use of information technology for knowledge management, and its chapters present specific research on how technologies such as computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), workflow, and groupware can support the creation and sharing of knowledge in organizations. |

| business management and information technology: Real Business of IT Richard Hunter, George Westerman, 2009-10-20 If you're a general manager or CFO, do you feel you're spending too much on IT or wishing you could get better returns from your IT investments? If so, it's time to examine what's behind this IT-as-cost mind-set. In The Real Business of IT, Richard Hunter and George Westerman reveal that the cost mind-set stems from IT leaders' inability to communicate about the business value they create-so CIOs get stuck discussing budgets rather than their contributions to the organization. The authors explain how IT leaders can combat this mind-set by first using information technology to generate three forms of value important to leaders throughout the organization: -Value for money when your IT department operates efficiently and effectively -An investment in business performance evidenced when IT helps divisions, units, and departments boost profitability -Personal value of CIOs as leaders whose contributions to their enterprise go well beyond their area of specialization The authors show how to communicate about these forms of value with non-IT leaders-so they understand how your firm is benefiting and see IT as the strategic powerhouse it truly is. |

| business management and information technology: Information Technology in Educational Management Ben-Zion Barta, Y. Gev, Gili Telem, 2013-06-29 Educational institutions in which administrators, managers and teachers will be working in the late 1990's will be far different from those oftoday. Schools, which until recently were lagging behind in the implementation of information technology (IT) in their administration and management, are now attempting to close the gap. A massive and rapid computerization process in schools, school districts and throughout the other Ievels of the educational system, including universities, has made computers an integral part of the educational management scene. A computer on the desk of every educational management statT might become a reality in the near future. The term IT includes three main components: hardware, software - mainly management information systems (MIS)/decision support systems (DSS) and human factors. Presently, successful implementation depends on adequate software and on human factors. MIS/DSSs are being implemented with the aim of providing meaningful support for school employees in their daily activities, and to improve their performance, etfectiveness and efficiency. Much like at universities, usable and accessible school databases are being established, encompassing data on students, teachers, employees, classrooms, grade Ievels, courses, student achievements and behavior, school space, curriculum, finance, inventory, transportation, etc. |
