The Savvy Manager: Add Value to Your Business by Understanding the Business




June 1, 2008 —  (Page 3 of 3)
To make sure you cover things beyond processes, talk to people in your organization that deal with the outside world—customers, vendors, investors. Talking to people in your organization will not only increase your understanding of the organization, but it will also build a relationship that may help you in the future.

Even if you feel that you can get by most of the time, every IT worker needs to strive for greater understanding of the business. Whether you do all of these things or just one or two of them, the knowledge you gain will help you better see how IT can help the organization be successful. The more you demonstrate that capability, the more valuable IT—and you—will be to the organization.
