Managers have been "pushed around" by IT professionals for decades; the IMBOK finally gives them a chance to get control over their IT investments. If you are a business professional with managerial responsibilities, then many of those responsibilities will depend on the availability of effective information systems that enable and enhance the execution of organisational process that you are involved with (or even responsible for). The IMBOK gives you valuable advice that will help you in arguing for appropriate strategic support for your systems needs, and making sure that the management of your IT-related investments is done appropriately. You will be surprised how different are the most appropriate approaches for different kinds of information system. We suggest you review the IMBOK "backwards" from the "strategic" end (that is the right hand end of the figure that illustrates the IMBOK). Download the IMBOK handbook (you will need to register if you have not done so) and look at Knowledge Area 4 - "Business benefits" (page 90) and Knowledge Area 5 - "Business strategy" (page 113). |
