There has long been a gaping hole between IT and business leadership in mid-size to large companies. The lack of substantive and comprehensive communications between these two critical sectors of the business has worked to the detriment of both and to the enterprise itself.
IT managers may have difficulty effectively communicating to non-technical audiences how their systems work, when and why upgrades are required, the importance of acquiring cutting edge technology, decision points on hardware and software purchases, staffing needs etc. The frustrations for both business and technical leadership is palpable in many organizations.
For business leadership, a comprehensive guide to their technology, systems, and applications is often unavailable. The constraints of time and perspectives also can work against managers as direct transfer of this kind of information can be problematic, incomplete, slanted, or incorrect. This is particularly true of enterprise wide implementations and proprietary systems. Many business leaders feel frustrated and concerned at this lack of operational knowledge about company systems, applications, and technology.
