I’ve posted before on the role of ambition as a key factor in driving business-IT maturity. I want to move beyond that and pick up the theme of mindset. This is a topic I covered in today’s teleconference as part of our multi-client research project into business-IT maturity.
According to Wikipedia, Mindset refers to the set of assumptions or methods held by groups of people which is so established that it creates a powerful incentive with these people to continue to adopt or accept prior behaviors, choices or tools. i.e., it defines a mental ‘rut’ we all get stuck in. Below are a few slides from today’s research WebEx meeting that examine the nature of business, IT and collective mindsets that tend to predominate Level 2 versus Level 3 business-IT maturity levels. (This is hopefully useful to you – in the interests of full disclosure, this is also a test for me in that it’s the first time I’ve embedded a PowerPoint presentation into my blog – a trivial act for most of the blogosphere, but a breakthrough activity for me!) Enjoy!
