CAB – more advisory role ‘Impact assess with
business’ – balance decisions on VOCR
Process managers – pragmatic approach to
CSI – improvements focused on VOCR

What if we(you) do nothing?
Is this the your
Business & IT alignment
Strategy?
© GamingWorks
What can you do?‘Knowledge translated into changed behavior,
to generate outcomes’
Lets make Monday
the 1st National
‘GO & meet a USER day’
Ask everybody in your IT org, what is definition of a
Service…then tell them in the context of YOUR organization
Invite business to come and present to IT
Use interactive sessions with business. Such as ABC workshop or use a simulation – explore, change attitude, agree behavior change.
Start showing, marketing V,O,C,R gains – build TRUST &
CREDIBILITY
Send EVERYBODY in IT into business for 1 day, then have
them present findings to team – V,O,C,R?

The FUTURE is
