Organizational Readiness/Preparedness

Value Of Organizational Readiness

If a simple question is raised”What makes Internet-enabled organizations successful?” the answer will be even simpler - execution. If an organization is ready to execute it implies that organization has ability to successfully plan, implement, and manage Internet-enabled strategies and initiatives, or in other words it means that organization has built its organizational readiness. In addition, another important characteristic in the approach of improvement of organizational readiness presents the fact that organizational readiness is not a one-time strategy-it is a continuous process. It is seldom either discrete or one-time event; it is overlapping activity that occurs throughout the life cycle of the organization.

Successful leaders understand the need to develop the organization, its culture, and its infrastructure. As the organization develops and executes its strategies it needs to ensure that IT strategies and initiatives are strongly linked to organizational goals and objectives and to make ongoing improvements to organizational readiness to enhance its ability to execute on IT initiatives.
