IT Governance: In Search of IT ROI

Overview The problem of IT Performance is not new. There have been many attempts to address this issue, mostly, "Borrowing" approaches and frameworks, from other disciplines. IT ROI and Balanced Scorecard are perhaps the best examples of such approaches. These approaches have taken up valuable resources, but failed to address the key issue - how to verifiably improve IT ROI? This webcast discusses how to define the problem - how much IT ROI is being lost and identify the issues related to IT ROI. The webcast explains the need a new approach and introduces IT Value Mapping - a quantitative framework to create and sustain IT ROI.
