Refocusing IT
• Achieve Business ownership
• Systems are at the heart of businesses
• IT Change often results in failure for systems
to be implemented fully
• Mapping business processes is essential
• Scenario based learning
• Linking IT to Customer and business
behaviour

Refocusing IT
3Cs - Communications, Consultation and
Coaching
• Communications – ‘No surprises’
• Consultation – ‘Get people involved, do it
with them NOT to them’
• Coaching – ‘Show how the IBI solution will
benefit the organisation’

IT Federalisation
Typically, any debate on IT organisational structure is normally based on the
appropriate level of decentralisation but ntl requires a federal model for IT.
