39 A fast and highly responsive IT means a lot of things for the digital transformation: Speed, innovation, agility, integration, modernization, intelligence, value creation, and maturity, etc.40 It’s not a matter of being reactive or responsive. It is not a matter of being fear or brave. It is a matter to add value to the business or not. 41 Running steadfast digital IT means that IT has to not only improve its own efficiency and speed, but also the overall organizational agility and maturity.42 The role of IT today for many organizations is a business solutionary for information, automation, and innovation.43 Setting priorities to leverage limited resources and talent for maximizing business value is an important step in climbing the organizational maturity.44 Enterprise leaders are increasingly looking to the IT function to introduce beneficial change into their business models and unleash its digital potential.45 Either big leap or double jumps, IT is an accelerator for speeding up the digital transformation of the business.46 The low maturity of IT with these bad syndromes is often caused by misunderstanding, short-sightedness, and “change inertia.”47 A frictionless IT organization catalyzes information flow, cultivates cross-functional communication, and accelerates business mobility. 48 A highly capable IT organization is a business capability multiplier.49 Defining your enterprise business capability is part art and part science.50 The business capability coherence is the decisive factor for the success of strategy implementation. 51 The enterprise consists of a set of capabilities. 52 Innovation becomes simply “creating value by solving problems in a new way.”53 Being innovative is more important than any specific innovation.54 It takes innovative leadership to re-imagine IT and it takes a structural approach to reinventing IT for the digital age.55 IT is not just the sum of services or processes, but an enabler of business capabilities.56 The value of information management is never for its own sake, but to provide insight and leap innovation.57 Running a “future-proof” IT organization is really about being strategic, capable, innovative, differentiated, accelerated, and learning agile.
