Technology strategy consulting

A vital tool for long-term digital planning

A strategic technology roadmap is a vital tool to prevent short-term, reactive projects from overwhelming long-term plans. It needs to reflect today’s business model and have the flexibility to anticipate tomorrow’s model, and show who owns each part of the plan while also communicating a common vision. Our specialists can work with you to develop a roadmap that helps your business create genuine value.

Our approach

We know IT spending is precious. It needs to be focused on long-term goals while ensuring that urgent, short-term projects can be accommodated if business-critical. We believe a strategic IT roadmap, driven by the business strategy, is an essential tool in achieving this balance. It can provide extra clarity for specialised functions in an organisation, such as cyber security and data protection.

We have developed a four-stage approach to strategy development, based upon the need for both flexibility and scalability. As such, it applies across all sectors and has been put into practice at businesses of all sizes from multinationals to small privately-owned businesses.

Our four-stage approach to strategy development comprises:

Understand the current landscape.
Identify critical requirements driven by business strategy.
Create a costed strategic IT roadmap reflecting trends in technology and marketplace competition.
C-level buy-in and execution.

The roadmap will typically include a delivery plan with a 12-36 month timeline, which will include long-term projects and quick wins.
