In Chapter 1, sections 1.5 to 1.8, you will find discussions of real-world problems and solutions on the management and delivery of IT services. You will gain preliminary insights on how to manage, monitor, and measure IT performance results that focus on strategic alignment with IT operational execution using accountability for results (results-based management (RBM) and results-based budgeting (RBB). This is demonstrated using integrated IT performance measurement dashboards and predictive performance analytics tools and technologies. Section 1.8 provides further details on the chapters to reference for measuring the management and delivery of IT services.
This is the first book in the market that demonstrates how to bridge the intelligence gap between strategy and operational execution, during the management and delivery of IT services, using real-life illustrations. Performance management is been viewed quite differently in practice and theory, resulting in this huge intelligence gap. This book provides real-life scenarios on how strategies are aligned with IT operational execution, using real-life integrated IT performance measurement dashboards. Chapter 6 – Integrated IT Service Delivery Life Cycle Performance Model and Appendices A – F provide real-life examples that IT and business leaders, managers and delivery staff, academics and researchers, can easily apply within the context of their existing IT and business environments. Chapter 7-section 7.6.3 provides suggestions on how to transform these theories into practice, using a more practical transformation change agent of people/culture, politics, process and performance scenarios.
Readers with IT and Engineering background will obtain a comprehensive set of real-world strategic directives definitions for each of the functional areas of the IT service delivery life cycle, with practical real-world illustrations of how strategic directives align with IT operational execution, using integrated IT performance measurement dashboards. These re-useable real-life examples are model-based, flexible and sustainable, and as such can be readily applied to any particular IT environment. The benefits that can be realized from these examples in preventing rework, expensive management consulting fees, etc., can range in 10%-20% annual savings of IT investment dollars. The readers with business executive and management background will obtain a much clearer and complete understanding of how IT investment dollars are being spent, as well as the areas of improvements, using more evidence-based decisions rather than the traditional educated guesses, emotions and intuitions. This lack of adequate understanding has usually resulted in questionable politically-type decision making results.
