More CIOs than ever demand value from IT and more and more business managers look for business value from IT.  Business value from IT does not get delivered automatically.  It has to be managed.  Managers need to ask the four value assessment questions:  1) Are we doing the right things?   2) Are we doing them the right way?  3) Are we doing them well?  4) Are we getting value and benefits?

A framework is essential to provide a structured approach and to ensure that all aspects of value management are covered .
