While it is not surprising that poorly managed companies will most likely have poor IT, it's probably also true that companies that are "IT Savvy" are also well managed generally. The difference is often philosophical - a savvy IT operation rarely is so simply because of one brilliant CIO, it's more likely its because the overall management of the company BELIEVES in the value that IT can deliver to an organization if it's treated strategically. On the other hand, weaker management that treats IT as a necessary evil and only invests post mortem or via mandate (unfortunately the majority) is ultimately doomed to fail. In many ways, it's self-fulfilling. ----Thanks Steve - Agree 100%. It will be interesting to read the book and get more details behind the research, see what both the qualitative and quantative research shows. T – excellent post.
