Abstrakt: The gap between corporate IT functions and their business clients have been a topic of research interest for many years. Business-IT relationships are complex, with many types of interactions, at many levels of the organisation and between both individuals and business units. The term 'fusion' can be used to refer to the process by which the elements of the IT function and the rest of the business work continuously together to achieve a common goal.This paper explores one of the three elements of a Business-IT Fusion Framework, namely the need for a 'Shared World View' and how a shared understanding of the business environment can break down the communication barriers and 'fuse' IT and the business together. A common language is required to build common knowledge and mutual awareness, trust and respect. Building, capturing and applying a Shared World View can therefore be done through the organisation's language, as well as diagrams and pictures, both structured and unstructured. These tools allow the role-players to capture and express the complex ideas and structures that form a shared representation of the organisation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
