Implementing your vision for IT takes more than just a top notch technical team. Your people need the vision to see what you are saying, the mentality to stay focused on that vision, and the communication skills to interact internally and externally in a way that transforms your organization. Once your team develops these, you will reap the benefits:
Eliminate the "Us vs. Them" Factor
The "Us vs. Them" mentality is common for many IT groups. While the organization would come to a standstill if it were not for IT, your department is often seen at best as a reactive support group and, at worst, a hindrance that must be circumvented. Eliminating this mindset, both in the IT team and throughout the rest of the organization, is a critical step in transforming your organization. Oftentimes IT people assume the problem is with "them." They may be right, but even if the problem is with "them" the solution still lies with "us"
Lead the Organization Rather than React to It
The value of technology in the business world can not be overstated. Unfortunately, many IT groups tend to just react to requests and needs. By positioning yourself as a peer within the organization, IT can drive and lead business initiatives.
Improve Morale
The ability to eliminate organizational "push and pull" and allow people to leverage and develop their strengths directly improves how satisfied people are day to day.
Implement Your Vision for Your Department
Until IT's goals and activities are aligned with the business's goals and activities, your vision will be stalled. Once your team is aligned, you can truly unleash the potential of your team.

Think Business Value First, Technology Second
Too often, IT professionals get caught up in the latest technology they would like to implement. Simply shifting their focus to focusing on what the business needs would instantly transform the group.
Think Collaboratively
Rather than thinking "us vs. them," getting your team to think of themselves as partners to the business works wonders. Collaboration, not competition, within the organization is the key to the success of your department and business.
Create Tangible Steps

Measure Success
Measuring the success of abstract concepts such as communication and vision can be tough. Avish will work with you and your group to come up with tangible measures of progress.
