TU/e notebook program - Technische Universiteit Eindhoven

At the time the decision was made to implement the notebook program, the Executive Board
and the Departments came to a consensus with the IT managers on what IT could do to help
achieve the intended strategy. As far as Innovation is concerned: the strategy needed IT to
fulfill it, it was not IT that offered a new strategy at that time. There was no new business
opportunities IT showed at the business, just another way to fulfill the strategy’s needs.
Because this evaluation is done after the decision in favour of the notebook program is taken
and the program already is implemented, the practice Prioritization is not necessary. That
leaves the practices Alignment and Performance management. These two are suitable to
perform an ex post evaluation like the one on the Eindhoven University of Technology
notebook program. The evaluation is presented in the next chapter.
