Organizations establish their Mission, Vision, Values, and Strategic Plan to use as the foundation in articulating their purpose and goals to internal and external stakeholders. In our experience, successful IT leaders augment those organization-wide artifacts by detailing how they are a strategic business partner in achieving the organization’s goals, working in collaboration with business owners, and realistically accounting for their resources. This holistic approach offers an opportunity for IT leaders to demonstrate business acumen, offer transparency to stakeholders, and articulate resource requirements to the C-Suite. There is no single approach to this, but it can take the form of a multi-year IT Strategy, an Annual Operational Plan, complimentary strategies (e.g. Cloud, Data, Democratization, etc.), and/or Technology Roadmaps. Our team has significant experience in developing and socializing these strategy documents designed to meet our clients’ unique requirements.
