Is it time to reboot your IT team?
Are you truly getting value from your IT team, whether internal or external? Are they adding value to your business, identifying strategic opportunities and managing enterprise risks?
Ask yourself these 10 questions:
- How long has it been since the IT team did some comprehensive new training?
- Has my IT manager been in their role for more than 5 years?
- Do I know what value I get from my monthly payment to my IT provider?
- Has anyone talked to me about how our business would be able to leverage artificial intelligence, machine learning, business intelligence or robotic process automation?
- Can our users find all the information they need to?
- It is just as easy to work from a coffee shop with my tablet as it is from my desktop computer?
- Do we have a truly paperless office?
- Are all our systems well integrated, and we never duplicate data entry?
- Do I feel confident that our reporting systems are as good as they could be?
- Does the IT function truly add value to the organisation, and provide deep input into strategy and management of risks?
