 You can improve your relationship with the IT department. What's more, you need to, if you are to help your organisation make the most of information best practices for everything from analytics to workflow efficiencies.
We have documented what the best information services do in order to strengthen this key relationship, following our recent Research Focus.
You can tap into these lessons:
- Get your copy of the report Insights and Actions from the Research Focus "Strategic Alignment of IS and IT", which will shift your thinking from what's frustrating to what's possible, and provide specific ways to realise the power of that partnership.
- Read the blog post "Learning Their World - 4 Steps to Strategic Interaction With IT", which names the five priorities of successful information teams, and offers four practical actions you can take today to turn challenging relationships into positive ones, and good relationships into successful partnerships.
Your content expertise, joined with the technology expertise of your colleagues in IT, forms a powerful knowledge asset for your business.
