		<description>RT,

Ultimately committees are born from many people with diverse and sometimes conflicting agendas. In many cases making a decision will be to the detriment of someone else and there will be obstacles, counter arguments, and delay tactics which ultimately work against making optimal and non-compromised decisions.

The only way I have seen decisions be made effectively, consistently, and rapidly is with a single decision maker.  One person.  One agenda.   This person can ask for input from many, but must make the decision themself?</description>

		<description>Good evening since it is miserable outdoors, I have some spare time to surf around the internet for some informative reading material. I always try to learn something new about everything whether it be the news, the weather, or just some off topic things that I was not keen on before. That is why I wanted to write you and let you know that I found your post here to be very entertaining. Not too often when i do get a minute to browse the internet do I find anything good or useful. But I thank you as I had a nice time reading yourpost.</description>

		<description>All good points, Russ.  Let me add another twist - this has worked well in some client situations.  We have effectively built 2 strategies - strongly interconnected.  

The first can be thought of as, &quot;IT strategy for the business&quot; or what I like to refer to as the &quot;Business-IT Strategy.&quot;  The second can be thought of as &quot;IT strategy for IT&quot; - and deals with how IT capabilities and assets must change in order to be successful with the Business-IT Strategy.

This is not appropriate in all cases, but often is, and can help delineate the &#039;internal&#039; and &#039;external&#039; perspectives around IT strategy.</description>
