Business management technology is a broad area that encompasses a broad range of skills ranging from leadership to project coordination and problem-solving. This profession is an integral component of a variety of businesses, from manufacturing to retailing to nonprofits and banking. Business managers are responsible for supervise employees and implement strategic plans. They also oversee the management of technology resources and develop processes that will enhance the overall performance of the company.
Many IT leaders are turning towards the discipline of Business Management (TBM) in order to better align their IT function to business goals and outcomes. Business leaders used to depend on IT for stability and efficiency. Today, they expect more. They need IT to create value that directly affects their business.
TBM helps deliver on those demands. It allows the right people to make smarter decisions because it provides an understanding of the business-facing components of a technology architecture, so teams can prioritize services and track progress towards goals. It gives a consistent, readable language of cost structures, so that it is easy to compare and benchmark best practices and compare to peers. It connects the resulting metrics back to the business impact, so that the whole company can appreciate the value of IT’s work.
While there are other firms who offer some of the components that comprise TBM, Deloitte’s unique approach to this market places us in a category of our own. It’s this holistic perspective that gives our clients an edge: a faster, sharper decision making process and measurable outcomes for their investments in IT.
