About this Presentation
All business and government entities today are affected by, if not dependent on, information technology (IT). Some enterprises have a digital constraint because their IT limits the products and services they deliver. However, even when IT is just a support function, it may range from an occasional to a persistent bottleneck. This webinar discusses factors that lead to misalignment between technical strategy and business strategy. It then covers steps that managers can take to bring business and technology into alignment. For further learning, checkout John's latest book, Exceeding The Goal, which has been referred to as "the bible for applying TOC to professional services."
