Measuring and Managing IT's Contribution to Business Value

Got an email from my Information week subscription asking me to participate in a IT Business Value Management (IT BVM) study. I think it will be worth participating and to see how our clients compare to other organizations. Details and link below.

Most companies have made significant progress measuring and managing IT performance and controlling IT costs. However, the capability to measure and manage IT's contribution to business value is far less
mature – despite the fact that delivery of measurable business value is now a strategic imperative of most IT organizations. In collaboration with The Hackett Group, InformationWeek is seeking your participation in an extensive research study to assess the level of maturity of IT Business Value Management (IT BVM) and its relation to company performance.

You can participate in the study by going to:

Participation in the study is free of charge. Participants in the research study will receive a customized report that allows comparison of their individual IT BVM performance to their peers and to World-Class performers.  The report of approximately 30 pages will consist of a general analysis of IT BVM capability maturity and performance, and a customized section. The Hackett Group will also conduct a free webcast to present the general analysis results, accessible exclusively to survey respondents. Both the custom report and the webcast are expected to be delivered around January 2008. Other than your own personalized report, no individual company information will be released. All responses will remain confidential and will only be reported in aggregate.
