The hard truth about business-IT alignment | CIO
IT, CIOs are frequently advised, needs to be aligned with the business, and alignment, we're told, is mostly a matter of effective IT governance.
Alignment is better than misalignment, I suppose, but in the end it's weak tea. Add overreliance on IT governance as the means for achieving it and you turn IT into a stifling, choking bureaucracy, not a more effective organization.
What's the superior alternative? Focusing your efforts on integrating IT into the business, not just aligning IT with it. That's integration, as in taking all the steps necessary for IT to be, and to be perceived as being, integral to every aspect of the enterprise.

This New York Business Calls Cheese And Regenerative Agriculture A Winning Combo
"Regenerative farming and small-scale, grass-based cheesemaking go hand in hand. Cows, and grass-eating ruminants in general, are the ideal stewards of this system because their grazing allows the grass to re-grow several times throughout the course of the season, and their manure and urine are Mother Nature's original, and best, fertilizers."
When she started the shop in Manhattan in 2006, the conversation was primarily around making American cheese as favorable as their European counterparts. To showcase the talent and often small hidden enterprises of American cheese makers was the aim. Now Saxelby is also addressing how these micro entrepreneurs are tackling bigger challenges in America's food system.
Pleasanton council to revisit policy on 'active' business uses in ground-floor units downtown |
Staff said that "the first 25% of a ground floor tenant space, measured perpendicular to the facade fronting a designated active street, must be dedicated to an active use" to ensure businesses locate their active uses at the front, where they're more visible from the street, and "represent more than a 'token' amount."
When the DSP was last updated, staff said "there was considerable discussion among the task force and other stakeholders on the pros and cons of these policies, which ultimately sought to strike a balance between preserving ground-floor spaces along Main Street for active uses, while providing some limited exceptions intended to avoid undue hardship to property owners."
