Aligning internal operating functions such as IT and R&D with business goals presents unique challenges. For example:
-
40% of IT investments fail to deliver their intended results
80% of the IT budget goes to "keeping the lights on" -
70% of Product Development projects fail to meet their
business objectives
-
89% of companies are flying blind, with virtually no metrics
in place except for finance
-
83% of companies are unable t o adjust and realign their budgets with business needs more than once or twice a year
