The IT System That Couldn’t Deliver Action Plan: Long Term • Bennet: Vision can’t be delegated; create and share vision with managers and employees – tie IT decisions to the business’s vision and mission; • Business Managers: Made accountable for delivering business results; • Sullivan: Speed up delivery of systems that directly affect revenue and competitive position;
The IT System That Couldn’t Deliver Action Plan: Long Term • Sullivan: Share a weekly post-deployment assimilation map – track the spread of new behaviors the IT is meant to instill – identify high-, low-, and no-risk business units; • Business Managers: Compete for IT capital – funding goes to projects that are tied to the business strategy and will generate the highest payback; • Sullivan: Benchmark against best-in-breed distribution systems;
