'Making IT Count: from strategy to implementation' focuses on the practical elements of delivering Information Technology strategy.  Studies regularly show that over half  of Information Technology strategies are never implemented, or are unsuccessful in delivering the desired results, and that a significant percentage of strategies implemented were never in the original plans. The linkage between strategy development and delivery needs a very clear focus; this is the key topic that the authors address.    The book highlights eight major fallacies in managing IT, and eighteen better practices. It then details how to draw up strategy,  instigate navigation techniques and make sourcing decisions. Change and delivery are a major focus, as is infrastructure development.
