Publication Date: September 2015

Abstract:

Information technology has the potential to transform business models, enable new products, processes and services, and help organizations to grow and prosper. This potential can only be unleashed, however, if the IT function succeeds in managing an array of interrelated and interdependent capabilities, and keeps their focus firmly on the creation of business value.

The IT Capability Maturity Framework™ (IT-CMF™) set out in this book has been developed in a unique collaboration between industry practitioners and academic researchers to design, test, and document practices, organizational assessment approaches, and improvement roadmaps, covering the full range of capabilities needed to optimize value and innovation in the IT function and the wider organization. IT-CMF enables organizations to devise more robust strategies, make better-informed decisions, and perform more effectively, efficiently, and consistently.

The book is essential reading for business and IT professionals who want to harness the full potential of information technology in their organizations, including CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, CFOs, transformation change managers, IT strategy planners, general IT managers, and IT professionals.
