June 23, 2010

Kansas City, Mo.

Overview

Many IT organizations continue to struggle with aligning IT strategy with business strategy and demonstrating the value of IT to their business counterparts. The IT Balanced Scorecard is a powerful framework that goes beyond being just another metrics system; it's a strategic management and measurement system capable of transforming an organization and delivering breakthrough performance. Using the IT Balanced Scorecard creates a common language between IT and business stakeholders, making it easier to align strategies and measure and communicate value. The four scorecard perspectives include:

  • The IT value perspective focuses on alignment, value, and the IT budget.
  • The user perspective focuses on customer satisfaction with IT.
  • The operational excellence perspective focuses on optimizing IT processes.
  • The future orientation perspective focuses on improving staff and organizational capabilities.
