Talk:Business–IT alignment

message: I left a tone template on the page. The article as it currently reads is still a too 'buzzwordy'. Without the implication that it should be dumbed down, it should still be written in more "normal" English. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 15:15, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

message: IT is an identifiable area in an organization, for the most part, if you overlook the vast amount of "Shadow IT," IT-like personnel and activities not part of the formal IT organization. But what exactly is "the business?" If you were to ask someone in IT what part of the organization they support, they would likely answer "IT (or some part of it)." But if you asked the same question of anyone else in the organization, they would surely not say, "I'm the business." No one uses that identification except IT. But IT is part of the business, just liker finance, HR, manufacturing and legal. None of these groups is particularly aligned with each other. 
IT brought this on themselves by creating this false division between IT and "the business" and acting accordingly - us and them. But the solution is to recognize IT as just one more component of an organization and drop this false notion that it is separate and special. IT needs to recognize that "The Business" is composed of many groups with different requirements and cultures. Neil Raden (talk) 13:34, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
