Placing IT effectiveness on the org chart
Dear Bob ...
I am interested if you know of organizations that have an IT Effectiveness manager in their organizational structure. If so, where in the org chart does it fit, who does it report to?
- Organizing
Dear Organizing ...
Not that I know of as a separate organizational function. Personally, I figure it's a core responsibility of the CIO and the IT management team.
What are often put into a separate organizations are implementation projects for making IT more effective - ITIL and systems management efforts, for example. These are generally chartered as projects. I suppose you could view the project teams as temporary departments.
