Three CIO Advisory Board Responses to "Managing the Realization of Business Benefits from IT Investments"

Ted DellaVecchia, one of three members of the newly formed CIO Advisory Board, to comment on the Peppard et al. article, believes the authors are on the right track in emphasizing business value and the demand side of IT investments, to successfully realize the benefits. Furthermore, he surmises that a framework like the Benefits Dependency Network (BDN) might also be useful in high-level corporate governance—perhaps to assess the strategic alignment of the IT portfolio with the business.
