Episode Description
Most companies approve technology investments that look sound on paper, track cleanly in finance, and deliver exactly what was promised, yet still fail when the board asks a single question.
What did we get for the money.
This is not an execution problem.
It is an IT governance failure.
In this briefing, former Global CIO Jayson Hahn explains why IT ROI collapses in the boardroom, even when projects are delivered on time and on budget. You will see how misaligned definitions of success between executives quietly break the capital story, and why CFOs are left defending value that was never economically defined.
This episode covers:
• Why IT ROI fails in translation, not execution
• The difference between delivery metrics and economic outcomes
• Why ROI must be agreed before capital moves, not after
• The three questions boards expect answered, and why most organizations cannot answer them
• How governance restores capital discipline and board confidence
This is for business leaders who are tired of approving technology spend they cannot clearly defend in a board meeting, an audit, or a strategic review.
