Business IT Alignment
Business IT Alignment is the degree to which the IT applications, infrastructure and organization, enable and shape the business strategy and processes, as well as the process to realize this.

Why is alignment still an issue?
The first reason is that the definition of alignment is frequently focused only on how IT is aligned with the business. Alignment must also address how the business is aligned with IT. Alignment must focus on how IT and the business are aligned with each other; IT can both enable and drive business change.
The second reason is that organizations have often looked for a silver bullet. Originally, some thought the right technology (e.g., infrastructure, applications) was the answer. While important, it is not enough. Likewise, improved communications between IT and the business help but are not enough. Similarly, establishing a partnership is not enough nor are balanced metrics that combine appropriate business and technical measurements. Clearly, mature alignment cannot be attained without effective and efficient execution and demonstration of value, but this alone is insufficient. Our research has found that all six of these components must be addressed to improve alignment.
The third reason IT-business alignment has been elusive is that there has not been an effective tool to gauge the maturity of IT-business alignment—a tool that can provide both a descriptive assessment and a prescriptive roadmap on how to improve.

Main observations
Industries vary in their alignment maturity
Alignment maturity is rising
Business executives score alignment higher than IT executives
Rankings among Level 2, 3, and 4 companies are remarkably consistent
