The resource center was introduced by the firm's CEO, Tom Zehren, during his "Transform IT. Transform Everything." keynote to the thousands of CIOs and IT leaders in attendance.

TORONTO, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Info-Tech Research Group, a global leader in IT research and advisory, has announced the launch of a transformative suite of resources for IT leaders and their departments looking to move beyond reactive operations and toward strategic, measurable outcomes. Called IT Playbooks Research Centre, it includes the firm's already popular and previously launched CIO Playbook and now a full suite of four newly developed domain-specific playbooks for Data, Security, Applications, and Infrastructure & Operations. The research center and new playbooks were officially debuted during the featured keynote by the firm's CEO, Tom Zehren, which kicked off the start of the Info-Tech LIVE 2025 conference in Las Vegas at Bellagio. LIVE 2025 is running from June 10-12 and has drawn thousands of attendees, including top CIOs and IT leaders from across the globe.

The release of the IT Playbooks comes as data from Info-Tech's IT Management & Governance Diagnostic reveals that 85% of core IT processes are ineffective across most organizations, a critical issue that leaves teams constantly solving the same problems instead of advancing the business. The IT Playbooks directly confront this challenge by offering a repeatable model for success, pairing research products and deliverables with each step to accelerate implementation and distribute ownership across teams.

"Our IT Playbook Research Center is a game-changer for IT leadership, as there's now a way to take control of improvement without starting from scratch," says Info-Tech Research Group's Chief Research Officer, Gord Harrison. "For too long, IT has been stuck in firefighting mode, patching processes instead of progressing. Info-Tech's suite of intentionally designed and meticulously researched IT Playbooks give leaders at every level the tools to drive measurable improvement, step by step, without the high costs or delays of traditional consulting."

What's Included in Info-Tech's IT Playbooks
Each of Info-Tech's IT Playbooks delivers a structured, 12-step framework designed to simplify complex IT challenges into clear, actionable steps. The intention is to enable CIOs and domain leaders to align priorities, delegate effectively, and drive tangible outcomes across their departments.

1. The CIO Playbook – Built for IT executives to align IT with business priorities, this guide includes 48 research experiences that help leaders improve performance, assign responsibility, and deliver measurable value.
   
   
2. The Data Playbook – Tailored for data leaders, this playbook offers 36 research experiences and frameworks to improve data and analytics maturity, governance, and business alignment.
   
   
3. The Security Playbook – Designed for CISOs and heads of security, it includes 43 research experiences to strengthen cybersecurity posture, streamline risk mitigation, and embed security across operations.
   
   
4. The Applications Playbook – With 36 research experiences, this guide supports application managers in modernizing portfolios, enhancing delivery practices, and aligning with business outcomes.
   
   
5. The Infrastructure & Operations Playbook – Featuring 40 research experiences, this playbook helps I&O leaders improve reliability, scalability, and service delivery across infrastructure and IT operations.

Built for CIOs, CDOs, CISOs, and departmental leaders alike, the playbooks are designed to raise the visibility of IT, help teams deliver results, and build maturity across every function. Whether used to lead a transformation or to incrementally improve a single area, Info-Tech's IT Playbooks offer a flexible, strategic path forward that empowers entire IT teams.
