Andy KyteHow far out should your strategy look? 3 years? 5? How about – “as long as the persistence of your decisions”? Business and IT managers today are living with the consequences of decisions taken 20 years ago. Persistent success means raising the horizon – developing a twenty year life-cycle plan for all the enterprise assets.
Key Issues:

  • How should the CIO organise IT and business management to deliver successful IT strategy?
  • How can a long-term IT strategy be meaningful in the absence of a long-term business strategy?
