Playing to win
Posted by andy in : Business Value on December 23, 2004. There are no responses »Chris Matts and I are working on an article that looks at why IT management have a tendency to play to loose and not play to win. They tend to measure the wrong things and see IT as a cost and not a revenue generating opportunity.
The more I think about this, the more examples I see.
A friend just told me about a Bank who has told its IT contractors they must take 3 weeks (unpaid) holiday over Christmas. Apparently, this will save them £3 million pounds! This is staggering. Surely the revenue generated by these Contractors exceeds their cost?
Do you have any interesting example you would like to share? Please send me an email (andy@pols.co.uk).
