Building business-IT linkages

A November 25th, 2005 Computerworld Canada article by Mark Els reiterates, yet again, that "there are no IT projects; there are only business projects". This is a thoughtful article which, again, raises the question in my mind "how many more books and articles such as this have to be written stating, what is to me, the 'blindingly obvious', before organizations get it?" Only when we go beyond writing and reading about this and actually take action will we come anywhere near to realizing the potential of IT-enabled change.
