What is T-BIAS®?
T-BIAS® is a powerful 6-point system that dynamically self-adjusts to ensure total Business and IT alignment . As a result, organizations consistently produce the right products & services, and extract maximum business value.
The Business / IT Alignment Challenge
Business/IT alignment is one of the biggest Challenges facing an organization today. In the absence of alignment, IT will be unable to create real value for the enterprise.
Often IT solutions are built piecemeal, based on urgencies, executive influence, or competitors strategy. For technology-dependent organizations, misalignment could spell loss or revenue, increased costs, or even business failure.
Practical, Predictable, SimpleWhen designing T-BIAS®, the Total Business/IT Alignment System, we wanted to ensure that the system works for everyday business challenges, supports growth aspiration, and maintaining a healthy bottom line.
T-BIAS® brings together people, process, innovation, and technology in a harmony that had until now been very difficult to achieve and even more difficult to sustain.
No more hard to understand, keep up, and impossible-to-afford "theories" that are more suited for a research paper than solving one of the most urgent business problems: empowering IT to enable business growth, innovation, and efficiency.

Q. Dr. Sam, let me preface my email by saying that I love my job and I love my company. It is a great place to be. I am the Web Development director at a health care company and I have a great team.
My problem is that we absolutely can't do everything the product delivery team wants us to do, in the time they want. We share with them our workload, and the fact that we are booked 3-5 months ahead. But these new project still come "over the fence" on a weekly basis.

Any advice?
A. Hello D.K. Your challenge is a tough one, but by no means unique. As organizations are increasingly under revenue pressure, changing customer needs and market dictates, IT has to do the following:
1- Build a convincing capacity plan that includes a 6-month look-ahead projection
2- Take a good look at the mirror -- are you as efficient as you would like to be? can you improve your development methodology, your processes, upgrade the skills or your team?
3- I don't believe that there is such thing as "IT" project. All projects are business projects that require IT resources and innovation. You need to work with the product development team to come up with portfolio of projects that they choose. Once they do, a project pipeline needs to be fleshed out, with the ability to swap projects, or put it on hold if some a new ask comes along. Essentially, you need to think of your department as a "factory". This factory can always improve its efficiency to make widgets faster, but should never rush production to where it makes defective products.
