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:
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
