The Effective Organization explores the issues and challenges of levering information technology to respond more effectively to client needs and objectives both within a company anda market. Based on examples of successes and failures over the last decade, it provides aforum for discussion within organizations, and between firms and their different business partners. The authors begin by examining the inherent links between business value, business models, and corporate strategy. They show how IT has progressively influenced our perceptions of value by impacting the practice of management, andpropose the Value Matrix ™ as a guide to determining how to best deploy talent, organization, and technology to produce value in a company anda market. Building on these foundations, theythen turn their attention to how current management practiceoften neglects the goal of business value. As the prescriptions for optimising organizations and technology have reached their limits, they argue, a radically different approach based on effectiveness and business value offers a promising alternative.
