Alignment Models
Henderson & Venkatraman can be seen as the founding fathers of Business/IT alignment and published an article called Strategic Alignment: Leveraging Information Technology for transforming organisations - IBM Systems Journal, vol32, NO1.
In the Risk3 model, the objective of B/I Alignment is to manage three separate risks associated with IT projects: technical risk (will the system function as it should?), organizational risk (will individuals within the organization use the system as they should?), and business risk (will the implementation and adoption of the system translate into business value?). Business value is jeopardized unless all three risks are managed successfully.

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
