Business people wonder why systems take so long and too often fail to address business objectives and IT people wonder why business people keep changing their requirements - or don't even know what they want in the first place. In this presentation David Jacobs will introduce The Profit Business Value Approach to the improvement of information systems business value and benefits. The Approach forms a detailed, pragmatic and business driven perspective on the use of information systems. David came into computing after a career in marketing information, analysis and research and, whilst working as a programmer and business analyst, developed extensive skills in Business-IT integration and mediation, which resulted in The Profit Business Value Approach. Since 1995 he has published a number of articles on the subject and makes regular presentations.
