Getting your IT strategy right is a bit like connecting the head to your body and knowing how to get started can often be the first challenge!
The aim of an IT strategy is to give you clarity on what your strategic direction should be, and what your provision of IT and digital looks like to achieve your organisation’s vision. It often includes a strategic assessment of what IT and digital tools are in use and how they are utilised often includes a review of pain points, change drivers and barriers, and an analysis of any capability gaps.
