One of the greatest challenges IT departments face is how to best adapt IT strategy with company's business strategy. I departments are expected today to undergo a complete transformation from purely cost departments to departments contributing to profit growth and profitability increase. Some of the major questions bothering top managements and for which they demand a partner-like relationship with IT are:
How to transform strategy into operative-action plans for it implementation

How to develop and keep developing the most important type of company knowledge: transformation of strategy into operative plans
Enable companies to continually create strategic initiatives and to implement them rapidly and efficiently
In order to respond to the above mentioned and similar questions it is of crucial importance for companies to develop ability to:
Master their own methodologies, models and tools for strategic planning, executing and monitoring
Manageability, adjustment and quick transformation of the system itself and adequate process of strategic planning, executing and monitoring
