Organizations understand the importance of aligning IT to business needs, but how do they make IT decisions and structure their IT functions do this?
PA has extensive experience of helping organizations create effective IT governance structures and efficient delivery organizations. Whether establishing an IT capability from scratch or helping to improve an existing IT function, PA has the experience, insight and capability to deliver lasting performance improvement.
Governance
IT governance is not purely the preserve of the IT department. Although the value of business-led IT is understood, there is often still a gap between those who make IT decisions and those who need IT to run their business.
Closing this gap requires carefully designed processes, efficiently crafted roles and accountabilities and, most critically, on-going and relentless attention to the spectrum of IT stakeholders.
Effective governance becomes even more critical and is a key driver of success in mixed or fully outsourced IT environments. Click here for more on IT sourcing.
Organization design
Centralize for efficiency or decentralize for business alignment? Outsourcing to save costs or keep in house for control?
PA’s philosophy is that there is no single best model – rather, the environment and strategy of a business will dictate the optimum organizational mix. Our understanding of the process elements as well as the people and HR aspects of organizational design allow us to achieve remarkable results with our clients.
