Unlocking the Potential of New Zealand Business by Aligning ICT with
Business Strategy

Initiative, to conduct its inaugural online survey to test the theory that
there was a misalignment of I.T. to business strategy within New Zealand
organisations. In this presentation, Louise Francis will provide an overview of
the feedback received to provide a snapshot of the status of ICT’s role in New
Zealand organisations including key areas of misalignment between I.T. management
and executive manager expectations, I.T. project delivery success rates,
accountability for project failures, and the ability for I.T. to meet end user
requirements when deploying technology within the organisation.
