Business strategy only has value when it is implemented and delivers results that were planned. IT is a key element in implementation and commercial success. Organizations now recognize that plugging IT into their business strategy process is fundamental to delivering value. Nowadays, IT managers and their teams need to grasp many aspects in the strategy arena.

This new book enables IT managers to implement strategy rather than develop it. IT professionals tend to focus on 'implementation' because they like the comfort of systems and processes. But you need to focus your energies on the people side of the delivery to ensure clarity and commitment.

Key areas include:

• The business & its strategy
• Aligning IT with the strategy
• The proposition
• What is the business buying?
• Delivering with impact
