Historical analysis suggests that less than 30% of IT projects are successful, often due to the lack of alignment with business needs and priorities. Business Alignment is at the core of realizing the Full Potential from IT:

• Business strategy and business initiatives must drive the direction and priorities for IT investments
• IT capability must enable innovative business strategies and business capabilities

Business Alignment is required in companies across all industries, but is critical in those where IT plays a central role in business operations.
