I found an interesting article in CPMA which highlights on the resolutions IT portfolio vendors will adopt, Found it quite interesting , hence sharing it with all. Stop saying things like 'Manage your corporate portfolio like a portfolio of stocks' This oversimplified comment is dangerous in addition to being meaningless. Dangerous because the corporate portfolio is made up of investments aka projects whose valuation, risk-reward profile, diversification benefits and other characteristics are much less known. While stocks and mutual funds have a great deal of historical data, 'corporate projects' don't have this. That said, even with the data that exists for stocks and funds, personal p...

Companies in IT department which look like today won't be the same after some years. The technology are changing very fast and in the same manner their working should be changed. Here are some of the tips which might be helpful in handling the companies streamline products: Understand Business Priorities The CIOs of the future must be much more strategic, and probably the main change agents of the organization. A closer relationship with business executives, and a deeper understanding of their priorities, can help a CIO determine what tasks would be most efficiently addressed in house or out. Build Trust, Not Competition There's always a tendency to mistrust third parties. You can always th...

Nicholas Carr's article "IT Doesn't Matter" (Harvard Business Review, May 2003) challenges the value proposition for IT. He argues that as companies become more dependent on IT for their day-to-day operations, so the emphasis switches to managing availability, reliability and security. As such, businesses should manage IT as a commodity. Do you subscribe to the Carr view? Do you align IT with the business in a purely supportive role? But innovations within IT continue to create possibilities and options for businesses that did not exist before. But where IT engages the business, pro actively and as an equal, companies will be able to continue to deliver strategic advantage through IT. The following will be useful in assessing the level of business engagement: - to whom does the IT function report in your business? For example, the Board (where the CIO/IT director is a Board member), the CEO (who has a business development focus), the COO (who has a business operations focus) or the...

Most IT project evaluations are like the tail wagging the dog. They begin with IT strategy, rather than the goals of the business. In fact, IT strategy should be the third link in a chain that begins with business strategy, which in turn governs the product or service strategy, which then drives IT strategy. Lets understand this with a mid size CRM company Business strategy: Increase the customer base by 20 percent in the next year by providing increased functionality such as business operations analytics and executive dashboards. Product strategy: Develop an alliance with a business intelligence (BI) software company to add analytical capabilities to the CRM software. IT strategy: Create a new software platform that allows for easy integration with the BI software company and others. IT projects: Develop a Web services–based platform that offers universal data exchange and messaging between the CRM software and the BI software. While this hierarchy reveals whether IT projects...

How IT cos hurt environment The machines that handle the world's computing tasks are also some of the planet's biggest polluters . Data centers, PCs, mobile phones and gaming consoles use electricity that frequently comes from coal-burning power plants or other sources of energy that give off high carbon emissions. The information and communication technology (ICT) industry in the US is on track to quadruple its consumption of electricity between 2009 and 2020, according to a study released today from the Institute for Sustainable and Applied Infodynamics (ISAID) in Singapore and Rice University in Houston, Texas . Unless electronics can be altered to become significantly more energy-efficient, the related carbon emissions from these products are set to grow as well, says the report. In the US carbon emissions related to tech products will grow from 72.95 megatons of carbon dioxide released in 2009 to 195.06 megatons released in 2020. About 6 per cent of the world's...
