IT Value Management

IT-CMF

Manage the IT Capability

Managing the IT Capability is what information technology and IT organisations can do collectively for a business.  The IT-CMF shows you how to manage the capability of your IT organisation by managing IT assets through the value chain and developing core competencies.  It also describes some tools available to measure that capability.  A properly managed IT capability leads to the continuous development of new strategic applications to deliver sustainable economic advantage.  The Managing the IT Capability strategy charts the rise of IT from a technology supplier at level 2 to its full maturity at level 5 where it offers corporate strategic capability.
