Changed business requirements and flat budgets drive the need
for business-driven IT prioritization
Peer-driven recommendations
In an economic downturn,
CIOs are prioritizing their
investments to help
optimize IT-enabled
business services
1. Improve the quality and reliability of IT services that
enable business workforce productivity
2. Prioritize smarter ways of doing things and
technology consolidation
3. Revise measurements and reporting to stress
business-driven outcome metrics, costs and
business value
4. Change focus from technology and optimized
subsystems to optimization of IT-enabled business
activity
5. Apply some investments to tactical quick
hits—but also make progress on longerterm service quality inhibitors
