Client’s Challenge: A prominent financial services firm found themselves at a crossroads. They were unsure if their IT department was a cost center or a value driver, and whether it was effectively supporting their business capabilities and goals.
Our Solution: At Digital Profit Group, we believe in the power of technology to drive business success. But we also understand that technology is only as effective as the people who use it. That’s why our approach to IT value assessment is rooted in a human-centric perspective.
We conducted a comprehensive IT value assessment, not just evaluating the capabilities of the IT department, but also understanding the roles and responsibilities of the people within it. We assessed the effectiveness of the IT operating model, ensuring it was aligned with the firm’s business goals.
But we didn’t stop at assessment. We also defined the IT operating model, roles, and responsibilities, ensuring that every member of the IT team understood their role in driving business success.
Results Achieved: The transformation was profound. The firm gained a clear understanding of the value of their IT department, seeing it not as a cost center, but as a strategic partner in their business success. They identified areas for improvement and implemented changes that increased the effectiveness of their IT operations by 25%.
But the benefits extended beyond numbers. The IT team felt more engaged and motivated, knowing that their work was directly contributing to the firm’s success. The firm also saw improved collaboration between the IT department and other business units, leading to more integrated and effective business strategies.
This case study is a testament to the power of a human-centric approach to IT value assessment.
