This work on Business-IT Maturity reminds me of the converse of Level 3 Business-IT Maturity. I have seen it more the norm than the exception that the maturity level of the “organization,” “business-side,” and IT are incongruent. For example, the organization is well established in the market, in some cases despite itself, or the business side has quickly matured in response to a large revenue growth, but IT did not receive the investment necesary to keep pace and mature along with the business.
This incongruency causes stress in all parts of the organization. Unfortunately, the incongruency is frequency not recognized by the various constituents, leading to misaligned expectations of each other and fostering discontent. It is the recognition of this misaligment at senior levels of the organization which begins to bring the sides together. Of course just using the term “sides” in this context points to a maturity issue (there shouldn’t be sides…)
