IT needs to re-energize itself and fortify digital transformation by contributing to business growth, innovation, or customer experience optimization.
The “art of possible” to reinvent IT in the digital age is to deliver the value of information in helping businesses grow, delight customers and do more with innovation.
IT Initiatives
Initiatives Change is the new normal, organizational leaders today should navigate through uncharted waters and blurred territories in a dynamic business environment and enhance an iterative management cycle to produce higher than expected results effectively. Initiative management is difficult.

IT Initiatives IT is business, every IT initiative needs to have a well-defined business requirement and well-supported business sponsors. What are the most effective vehicles for understanding business requirements? What are effective ways to ensure that non-IT stakeholders are engaged and performing their appropriate roles? Talking to business partners is clearly essential, but are informal discussions sufficient? How does IT get the right executive sponsorship and commitment, who should they be, and perhaps more important, what are the roles that they must play?

Businesses, especially the well-established large corporations and within that environment, innovations can range from small to game changers.
