28. WHY DISCUSS IT-BUSINESS
STILL ALIGNMENT?
1. Consider their organizations are not misaligned
2. Too often considered just IT aligned with the business
3. Semantics: alignment vs fused, linked, integrated, fit,
harmony, converged, matched, melded, interwoven…
4. In search of mythical silver bullet
5. Focusing on infrastructure/architecture
6. How do you know if your alignment is “appropriate”?
7. Can we move from a descriptive vehicle to a prescriptive
vehicle?
