Implementing an IT value architecture
Increase data-driven decision making and quantifiable, value-driven IT
Are you able to show how technology investments are helping achieve business outcomes?
Most IT leaders today are familiar with the concept of assigning value to IT efforts and defining objectives and key results (OKRs) to align technology initiatives with business objectives.
And yet, all too often, these same leaders struggle to defensibly connect their technology efforts directly to real value recognized across the enterprise. When negotiating with business counterparts on how valuable an idea is to pursue, IT leaders often overly rely on intuition instead of pointing to a specific business outcome and empowering others to follow suit.

Likewise, the business may assume that IT is working with enterprise strategy in mind, ignoring the fact that business goals are not always communicated clearly throughout the organization. And both sides of the equation may assume that getting value estimates that resonate means building big business cases, and a cumbersome process that shifts from easier to harder.
A value-architecture framework can help you align investments with the organization’s strategic business goals:
