Planning IT requirements based on business imperatives & then subjecting those investments to on - going, multi - faceted evaluations linked to proactive benefits realisation & organisation change processes will ensure appropriate investments and governance of IT investment to deliver business benefits.	cache/ajis02-112.pdf	txt/ajis02-112.txt
