Arthur D. Little's "IT as the Backbone of the Future: Alignment Requires Transparency" series focuses on the importance of transparency in managing the value of IT for top management. The series includes four briefings: 1) "Benefits of IT Value Management" (aiming to increase business success), 2) "Understanding and Measuring the Value of My IT" (using a framework), 3) "ADL Health-Check and Value Creation in Practice," and 4) "IT Value Journey: Stepping Stone to Strategic Value Creation of IT." The briefings highlight the fact that 65% of large corporations view digitalization as a top 3 strategic goal, 85% see IT as the backbone of their digitalization, and 70% believe their IT is not up to the challenges. The briefings also emphasize the importance of establishing an open and transparent culture for effective IT value management. The series concludes with a discussion on the significant impact of IT value creation on business success.
