Excerpt:

On The Job

IT budget (approximate): $2 billion

Size of IT team: About 6,000

Top three initiatives:

• We set aggressive goals to provide better availability by radically reducing outages in the mainframe, network, and open systems infrastructure.
• Streamlining our internal processes to manage costs and expedite time to market.
• Fostering a great culture for team members and focusing on employee engagement.

How I measure IT effectiveness: We have the standard financial and technical measures, but also try to manage perception. We instituted an internal partner survey to get feedback, which is critical to help us drive alignment with the businesses we support.

Comment: I'm in her organization.
