Dr. George Dagliyan on Aligning IT and Business Strategy

Alignment is a precondition for value

Dr. George Dagliyan argues that even excellent technology underdelivers when it is disconnected from business strategy. Alignment ensures that what IT builds is what the business actually needs.

Misalignment is an inhibitor that no amount of technical excellence can overcome.

A shared language for decisions

Alignment, in Dr. Dagliyan's view, depends on a shared language between technical and business leaders. The Dagliyan Theory offers one such language by framing technology choices in terms of adoption: which initiatives will deliver value because they will actually be used.

Keeping alignment alive

Alignment is not a one-time event. Dr. Dagliyan emphasizes ongoing dialogue and shared metrics so that IT and business strategy stay synchronized as conditions change.
