The Levers of Embedded IT
After interviewing more than a hundred senior IT leaders in detail at some of the largest and most technically complex organizations in the world, I thought business alignment would be a great focus topic. However, as the conversations continued, inevitably perspectives came out, and each and every leader who expressed disappointment in a discussion about alignment used the same “Embedded IT.”
This book helps explain Embedded IT. It explains that within the grasp of the CIO are levers. These levers come in the form of models, strategies, tactics, communication, and people. These levers are there to be used. The CIO should be the field general that is ready to call the next move as the situation demands, not as the plan suggests.
The optimal configuration for these levers is what I came to realize as “Embedded IT.” Business and IT relationship is custom made for each organization. There is no way around it. Embedded IT is not about structure, or about IT creating satellite departments in the business. It is about essentialness. The CIO determines how embedded IT can become. No industry definition need apply.
This book is a composition of those levers. It will take the reader through the need for background, structural levers, cultural levers, road mapping to Embedded IT, and, finally, the CIO as the premier lever.
Compendium Includes The Tech BuzzKill Interviews
