Many CIOs struggle to answer two deceptively simple questions: 1) How are we doing, and 2) what should I prioritize? These questions invite a host of complexities, raising questions about the role of technology in the organization, who your peers are, what your technology priorities should be, when to push the envelope, and what to focus on first. For a CIO to move from the traditional "aligned IT" model to an "empowered BT" world, these questions need to be answered clearly and unequivocally. Forrester has developed a best practices maturity model to help you answer these questions. The model enables you to conduct a self-assessment to understand how your organization measures up against best practices and to identify the areas offering the greatest opportunity for improvement.
