Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance

This might look like an old book to you, but I found it highly relevant.

And the Financial times said:

The most influential management book of the past quarter century… A veritable goldmine of analytical concepts and tools to help companies get a much clearer grasp of how they can create and sustain competitive advantage.

There’s a great summary of the book here.

Creating value with ICT

Many organizations utilize process maturity models (e.g., CMM, Gartner) to assess their current level of IT process maturity, identify a desired state and build a gap analysis highlighting the areas of people, process and technology to invest in for better alignment with the overall business. Even more detailed models have recently been created to evaluate specific processes, such as IT Asset Management and other key domains. IT organizations must seriously consider all aspects of process maturity.

Check out the Gartner model. On what level are you and where would you like to be?

You’ll see inventory comes in at level 1. That’s where Optimassets comes in.
