Trends 2006: New Generation for Service Desks -- ITIL, ITSM, and New Product Releases Drive Improvements, by Chip Gliedman of Forrester Research 2006-09-22 11:31:35 FrontRange Solutions

The potential for a brief hiatus in technology growth gives IT management an opportunity to evaluate and enhance the business technology infrastructure and infrastructure management. Concurrently, the maturation of the ITIL model for infrastructure and service management provides a framework for potential improvements. With most tool vendors releasing ITIL-based solutions in current versions, and with the majority of current service desk software users using prior versions of these tools, times are ripe for a mass migration to a new service desk process and tool model.

IT Strategy Maps: A Tool For Strategic Alignment 2005-12-03 01:00:11

Aligning IT and business strategy remains the No. 1 or No. 2 business IT issue year after year. But no matter how much focus and attention this subject receives, little progress seems to be made. Forrester recommends that 1) firms start measuring strategic alignment as part of the "you can't manage what you don't measure" philosophy, and 2) start using strategy maps to build consensus around strategic objectives and communicate this strategy to all stakeholders. By creating a picture of strategic objectives, making strategy visible in a strategy map makes it easier to communicate and drive alignment, thus embodying another familiar philosophy � a picture is worth 1,000 words.
