This book is based on many years of experience at A.T. Kearney in the consulting sector for strategic information technology. We see ‘strategic IT consulting’ as strategy consulting geared towards the senior executives responsible for IT; generally, the CEO or a board member responsible for IT, possibly the CIO, and sometimes a head of unit or the director of a subsidiary. ‘Strategic’ as opposed to ‘operative’ means not implementing IT but focusing completely on the issue of how added value can be created for the company by using information technology.
